Tumoral TP53 and/or CDKN2A alterations are not reliable prognostic biomarkers in patients with localized Ewing sarcoma: a report from the Children's Oncology Group.

We sought to evaluate these variables in patients with localized disease treated prospectively on a single Children’s Oncology Group protocol.
