Executive summary
This study investigated the QoL of patients with Ewing sarcoma treated with PBS-PT. A PEDQOL questionnaire evaluating eight different domains was filled by the patients and their parents at the start of PT treatment, 2 months after treatment then once a year. This study found that patients with Ewing sarcoma usually recovered well to normal QoL levels 2 years after the end of PT, however, the children rated emotional functioning and body image poorly 2 years after PT.
