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]
