PNETs and Ewing’s sarcoma are described as appearing on the same histologic spectrum. [8] [9] Treatment of PNETs is the same as extra-osseous Ewing’s sarcoma, with resection of the whole tumor alongside chemotherapy and radiation. Outcomes however are poor as PNET remains an aggressive cancer as a member of the Ewing Family of Tumors. [9]

The Ewings estimated they owed between 100 and 199 creditors. Some of the top creditors — 15 banks, credit card companies and credit unions — are together owed more than $1.9 million.
The peripheral PNET (pPNET) is now thought to be virtually identical to Ewing sarcoma: "Current evidence indicates that both Ewing's sarcoma and PNET have a similar neural phenotype and, because they share an identical chromosome translocation, they should be viewed as the same tumor, differing only in their degree of neural differentiation.
