      <Abstract>Radiation therapy continues to be an important treatment application in pediatric oncology. There have been significant improvements in the application of radiation therapy in the past decade which can be directly applied to children and improve patient outcome relative to tumor control and ameliorate the late effects of management imposed on normal tissue. In this paper we present an application of radiation therapy using volume modulation arc therapy in a unique presentation of Ewing sarcoma. Multiple body segments were treated in a simultaneous manner with conformal avoidance of critical normal tissues including cardiac structures, hepatic parenchyma, and the remaining left kidney.</Abstract>
