Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumors | Other: MGMT methylation evaluation |
This is a biological study in patients with advanced Ewing Sarcoma who received, according, clinical practice, temozolomide and irinotecan.
The MGMT methylation status will be correlated with the disease clinical data and with the disease response also in term of metabolic activity (if data will be available) The MGMT methylation analysis will be performed extracting from fresh tumor sample, the DNA on the basis of the standard protocols.

Temozolomide and Irinotecan treatment
The group include all the patients with histological confirmed diagnosis of Ewing's Sarcoma who received chemotherapic treatment with temozolomide and irinotecan. In this group the MGMT methylation evaluation will be done
|
Other: MGMT methylation evaluation
The MGMT methylation will be evaluated by extracting DNA from fresh and Formalin Fixed paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor samples |
- Assessment of MGMT promoter methylation [ Time Frame: at day 1 ]Amplification the methylation-specific Polymerase Chain Reaction products will be electrophoresed on a 2% agarose gel and will visualized with UV light
- Correlation of the MGMT promoter methylation to the activity of the temozolomide irinotecan combination [ Time Frame: at month 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 ]Correlation with level of MGMT methylation with tumor response
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
