Characteristics and prognosis of pelvic Ewing sarcoma: a SEER population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The pelvis is one of the primary sites of Ewing sarcoma (ES) and is associated with poorer prognoses than the extremities. Due to the rarity of this disease and limited data available, the prognostic factors of pelvic ES remain controversial. Thus, this study aimed to identify independent prognostic factors, and develop a nomogram for predicting survival rates in patients with pelvic ES.

Methods

Using data provided by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, variables including age, sex, race, tumor size, tumor stage, surgery, and radiotherapy were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression. Based on the results of multivariate analyses, a nomogram was built to predict the overall survival (OS) of patient
