Since 1993 pediatric patients affected by high-risk Ewing sarcoma for the presence at onset of a large pelvic mass and/or metastatic disease, were enrolled in a national pilot study comprehensive, finally, of a high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) procedure with hemopoietic stem cell support. The HDCT procedure considered as consolidation of the disease status obtained after the first-line therapy was followed by the reinfusion of granulokine colony-stimulating factor-primed (G-CSF) peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPCT). Here we present the results in terms of treatment-related toxicity, hospitalization and rescue of the bone marrow function, in 17 pediatric patients enrolled in such a pilot protocol and submitted to HDCT and PBPCT at the end of first-line therapy.
