The survival disparity between children and adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with Ewing sarcoma in the Netherlands did not change since the 1990s despite improved survival: A population-based study

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with Ewing sarcoma have a worse prognosis than children. Population-based survival evaluations stratifying findings by important clinical factors are, however, limited.
