Equivocal end‐of‐therapy imaging findings do not predict a higher risk of local relapse after definitive radiotherapy in pediatric Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma
Abstract:Background: Posttherapy imaging studies can provide reassurance or induce anxiety regarding risk of recurrence for patients and their families.
