Development of surgical guidelines for ES
Surgical guidelines for the INTER-Ewing1 and iEuroEwing trials, identify need for future research
Leads: Dimo Andreou, Pietro Pellegrino, Olga Zaikova
Development of a questionnaire regarding SOPs for the surgical treatment of ES in different centers across Europe
