Renal Ewing sarcoma treated with apatinib

Anticancer Drugs. 2018 Aug;29(7):702-704. doi: 10.1097/CAD.0000000000000630.

Abstract

Renal Ewing sarcoma (RES) is an extremely rare disease. The standard treatment for this disease is lacking, and clinical experience needs to be accumulated. Here, we report a case of RES that rapidly developed to metastatic disease and was refractory to radiotherapy and chemotherapy; however, the case obtained a partial response based on Choi criteria by orally taking antiangiogenic drug apatinib. Our case suggests that apatinib may be a therapeutic option for RES.
