Typically, cancer five-year relative survival rates are well below 100%, reflecting excess mortality among ...
The presence of metastatic disease is the most important prognostic factor in Ewing Sarcoma with the 5 year survival rate being only 30% when metastasis is present at the time of diagnosis as compared to a 70% 5 year survival rate with no metastasis present. [10]
