What multidisciplinary team members should be involved in the care of a patient with Ewing sarcoma?

Multidisciplinary team members involved in the care and management of a patient diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma should include:

• Oncologists (medical and clinical oncologists) to oversee chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment planning and delivery.
• Orthopaedic or sarcoma surgeons for surgical management of the primary tumour and any metastases.
• Radiologists to perform and interpret imaging for diagnosis, staging, and treatment response assessment.
• Pathologists to provide histopathological diagnosis and molecular characterisation of the tumour.
• Specialist nurses or key workers to coordinate care, provide patient support, and liaise with primary care and community services.
• Palliative care specialists to manage symptoms and provide supportive care throughout the disease course.
• Physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists to assist with functional recovery and mobility post-treatment.
• Psychosocial support staff including psychologists or counsellors to address emotional and mental health needs.

This multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive care from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up, consistent with UK cancer service standards for sarcomas and other malignancies requiring complex management ¹,²,³.
