Abstract:
:A patient with Ewing's sarcoma of the left scapula received prophylactic radiotherapy to the left lung following wide excision of the tumor. While the left lung remained free of tumor, there was metastatic invasion of the right lung within ten months of the initial diagnosis of the disease. Since Ewing's sarcoma frequently metastasizes to the lungs, it is suggested that prophylactic irradiation of the lung may be of value in the prevention of metastases.
