Study of Outcome of Children Previously Enrolled in European Trials of Treatment for Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumour (PNET)

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the quality of survival of patients in the UK and other European countries
enrolled in previous International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) 2 or 3 phase
III trials for treatment of pediatric primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET).

- Compare the quality of survival between children allocated to different treatments in
these trials.

participating countries in the PNET 4 trial that opened in autumn 2002.

cognition, behavior, emotion, educational provision and achievement, social integration, and
the subjective experience of the patients and their families.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 229 patients will be accrued for this study.
