Ryan 01/02/2011 - I think it would be better if you placed the "survival rate of 40%" somewhere further down or under a subheading. This is because I have a PNET and I just wanted to read about a PNET, I did not want to read about a survival rate on the first line. I am sure anyone else reading this will agree.

I do not know Wikipedia Markup, so someone else will have to edit this.

Deleted the redirect to Ewing's sarcoma. I'm not sure if that is a PNET, but medulloblastoma is definitely the prototype.Hnc 05:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted the redirect to Ewing's sarcoma for "primitive neuroectodermal tumor" (for those of us who dont bother to capitolize) 6:38, 29 May 2007

I am not qualified to add any content regarding this cancer, but I know for certain that PNET can appear as a non-germ cell element in primary testicular germ cell tumors and probably in primary extragonadal germ cell tumors as well. These tumors are best treated surgically, as I do not believe any really good chemotherapy protocols exist. Men with PNET in a testicular tumor should definitely have a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection unless it is clear that the cancer has already widely spread outside of the retroperitoneum. 17 Nov 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougbank (talk • contribs) 15:21, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am what I see as the oldest survivor of Primative Neuroectodermal Ewings Sarcoma..

I am wondering how one goes about correcting or adding to the information on Wikipedia. I was diagnosed at the age of 47 in 1997. I am now 64 and completely cured! I wish to give hope to those diagnosed with this rare form of cancer, as well as correct the records. I fought a tough battle and survived...I would like to see the records amended.Does anyone know how that is done?? Xpuha3115 (talk) 00:27, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why does "ependymoblastoma" redirect here?

name

PNET is now an archaic name. Lipomatous embryonal tumor with glioblastoma components is now the most updated and accepted name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MadBotanist (talk • contribs) 29 September 2018 (UTC)
