Treatment of Ewing's sarcoma with high-dose melphalan and autologous bone marrow transplantation. 1981

M A Cornbleet, and R E Corringham, and H G Prentice, and E M Boesen, and T J McElwain

Three patients with disseminated, relapsed Ewing's sarcoma refractory to conventional chemotherapy were treated with high-dose melphalan, cyclophosphamide pretreatment, and bone marrow autotransplantation. Two patients achieved complete remission and one achieved partial remission. The two patients who achieved complete remission remain disease-free at 12 and 13 months. High-dose melphalan is effective when conventional approaches have failed.
