Correct: Unfortunately the five year survival for patients with recurrent metastatic ewing's sarcoma is low. 5-year survival after recurrence is approximately 10% to 15%. Time to recurrence is the most important prognostic factor. Patients who recurred more than 2 years from initial diagnosis had a 5-year survival of 30% versus 7% for patients who recurred within 2 years.
