Table 5 Radiotherapy dose and fractionation for ewing sarcoma

Setting	Dosage
Pre-operative radiotherapy	The total dose for preoperative irradiation is 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions in a single phase to the PTV. If there are concerns about organ tolerance or wound healing, then this dose can be reduced to 45 Gy in 25 Gy fractions
Post-operative radiotherapy	The total dose for postoperative radiotherapy is 54 Gy in 30 fractions, delivered as 45 Gy in 25 fractions to PTV1, and 9 Gy in 5 fractions to PTV2
Definitive radiotherapy	The total dose for definitive radiotherapy is 54 Gy in 1.8 Gy fractions, delivered as a single phase. A boost of 5.4 Gy in 3 fractions may be considered if desired, keeping within standard normal tissue dose constraints

Fractionation: conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (once daily fractions, five 1.8 Gy fractions per week) is the preferred fractionation schedule. In very young children, fractionation using 1.6 Gy fractions may be considered
