 Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)
However, the morphological and biological characteristics of Ewing's tumors developing in soft tissues appear to be indistinguishable from those of tumors developing at bone sites.[2,3] PNETs have been referred to by different terms depending on their location and extent of neural differentiation: peripheral neuroepithelioma, Askin tumor, adult neuroblastoma, peripheral neuroblastoma, and primitive neuroectodermal tumors.

 Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)
Picci P, Rougraff BT, Bacci G, et al.: Prognostic significance of histopathologic response to chemotherapy in nonmetastatic Ewing's sarcoma of the extremities.
The successful treatment of patients with Ewing's sarcoma/PNETs requires the use of multidrug chemotherapy, in addition to radiation therapy or surgical therapy to the primary tumor.[1-4] The standard treatment includes vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (VAdriaC) alternating with ifosfamide and etoposide and appropriate supportive care for the myelotoxicity caused by this regimen.
The combination of ifosfamide and etoposide has shown activity in Ewing's sarcoma/PNET, and a large randomized clinical trial demonstrated that outcome was improved when the ifosfamide and etoposide combination was given in alternating courses with vincristine, doxorubicin (or actinomycin-D), and cyclophosphamide.[7] Local control can be achieved by surgery and/or radiation or both.

Cytogenetic studies of the EFTs have identified a consistent alteration of the EWS locus on chromosome 22 band q12 that may involve other chromosomes, including 11 or 21.[7,8] Characteristically, the amino terminus of the EWS gene is juxtaposed with the carboxy terminus of another gene.
Such an approach will result in local control of tumor with acceptable morbidity in most patients.[6,7,8] Radiation therapy to the primary tumor as well as to the sites of metastatic disease should be considered but may interfere with delivery of chemotherapy if too much bone marrow is included in the field.

 Ewing's Family of Tumors Treatment - National Cancer Institute
Metastases: Although the prognosis is thought to be poor, it has been observed that with intensive therapy, survival in patients with ETB who have only pulmonary metastases is higher than for patients with bone or bone marrow metastases.[9,22]
Routine histopathology: Traditionally, a major distinction has been made between classical Ewing’s sarcoma, which shows minimal evidence of differentiation, and PNET, which shows evidence of neural differentiation; however, the degree of neural differentiation does not influence outcome.[23,24]
Response to preoperative therapy: Multiple studies have shown that patients with minimal or no residual tumor after presurgical chemotherapy have a significantly better event-free survival compared with patients with larger amounts of viable tumor.[9,12,14,30,31] Massive tumor necrosis after induction chemotherapy is a very favorable sign.[9,10,30,32]

LOCALIZED: For Ewing’s tumor of bone, the tumor is defined as localized when, by clinical and imaging techniques, it has not spread beyond the primary site or regional lymph nodes.
Extraosseous Ewing’s has been grouped using the rhabdomyosarcoma staging system [1] shown below:
Lymph node and, in particular, central nervous system metastases are less common.[2] According to staging systems in common use, this is stage 4 or group IV.
