New article with the free full text reports a case of recurrent metastatic EWS who achieved a clinical and radiological remission with PD-1 blockade using Keytruda.
Programmed cell death-1 blockade in recurrent disseminated Ewing sarcoma.

This article might be very useful for sarcoma patients trying to get Keytruda prescribed for their unresectable lung and/or spine (bone and soft tissue) metastases off label - for the people who can not be accepted in the clinical trial. The case is very significant as a proof of principle that Keytruda can work on the spinal bone and soft tissue mets.
