Ewings Sarcoma is the second most common pediatric malignant bone tumor. Aggressive multimodality therapy has led to an improvement in outcomes, particularly in patients with localized disease. However, therapy-related toxicities are non trivial and the prognosis for patients with relapsed and/or metastatic disease continues to be poor. In this article we outline some of the promising therapies that have the potential to change the Ewings Sarcoma therapeutic paradigm in the not too distant future: insulin growth factor receptor inhibitors, targeting of the fusion protein, epigenetic manipulation, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors and immunotherapy.
