This page should be renamed Ewing sarcoma and the re-direct should be from Ewing's sarcoma. ArchonMeld (talk) 13:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
The explanation that adding up the Chromosone 11 and 22 equals Patrick Ewing's jersey number is nuts. This should be removed from the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.30.188 (talk) 05:37, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Agree
As a medical student, I assure you that this mnemonic is used all the time and is actually really helpful for remembering the translocation (there are many translocations that we are expected to memorize, so every mnemonic helps). I didn't see the original entry so I'm not sure how it was phrased, but I think it's worth including this tidbit as medical students use Wikipedia frequently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.37.210.254 (talk) 20:23, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
I think it is a bit comical to have that inputted into an encyclopedia entry, but it is very commonly used for Board (USMLE Step 1) review material. I think if enough people want it; it won't take away from the facts of the article. It'll just make a few other med students chuckle a bit. -- Paul K. | MechE | MSY-2 | Chemist | Coffee Addict 19:40, 17 August 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulkarr (talk • contribs)

I don't think Ewing's and PNET are synonymous. Can someone with expertise in this area comment? Hnc 19:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
It's true. PNET describes a number of tumors characterized by primitive "round, small blue cells". Other examples are medulloblastoma, Wilm's tumors and a number of others —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.63.32.162 (talk) 15:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree that the term "PNET" is somewhat ambiguous. As a pediatric oncologist, I have never heard of Wilms tumor referred to as PNET. Medulloblastoma looks like a particular type of PNET, but again, nobody uses those terms interchangably. To be specific, primative neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a type of brain tumor that has nothing to do with Ewing's sarcoma. This is sometimes called a "central PNET" or a "supratentorial PNET." Peripheral PNET (pPNET), on the other hand, is a tumor type that is essentially identical to Ewing's sarcoma, and is not found in the CNS. It'd be fine to merge this latter type with the Ewing's discussion, since most docs now refer to these things as Ewing's sarcoma, or Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.100.235.165 (talk) 20:35, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

In the wiki article on "Alu Sequence" it says that it might have something to do with Ewing's sarcoma.
"In the review article referenced below [5], the authors report that the following human diseases have been linked with Alu insertions:
... Ewing's sarcoma ... "
maybe that should be added to this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Believr4god (talk • contribs) 18:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Noting that I don't know much about this:

I don't think they are the same. PNET can arise everywhere, can Ewing's sarcoma do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toypasu (talk • contribs) 07:14, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
PNET and Ewing Sarcoma are not synonymous. A primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is generally a brain tumor, and maintains that diagnosis when found in the brain. However, a peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) can be found elsewhere in the body, and is very similar pathologically to a Ewing Sarcoma. Ewing sarcomas are generally bone related, whereas pPNETs do not have to grow near or on the bone. Therefore, though the two diagnoses are similar pathologically, they should remain separate as they represent different disease types and locations. There is already some differentiation noted on the page. --Danman2012 (talk) 15:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
The current naming convention favors avoiding the "apostrophe s". We believe the title should be changed from "Ewing's" to "Ewing". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.218.125.170 (talk) 22:27, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

It was proposed in this section that Ewing's sarcoma be renamed and moved to Ewing sarcoma.

Ewing's sarcoma → Ewing sarcoma – Most modern sources call it Ewing sarcoma, also de majority and the most important ones AdrianHObradors (talk) 23:08, 8 June 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 07:28, 22 June 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

This series (also known as the WHO Blue Books) is regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis of tumours—WHO
This is a quick summary from a search, feel free to add more resources to this comment if I missed some important organization. But it feels to me that Ewing sarcoma, without the "'s", is the most used term. More input from MD would be appreciated though. AdrianHObradors (talk) 08:46, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
English can use either genitive case or attributive position to indicate the adjectival nature of the eponymous part of the term. (In other words, that part may be either possessive or non-possessive.) Thus Parkinson's disease and Parkinson disease are both acceptable. Medical dictionaries have been shifting toward nonpossessive styling in recent decades.[1] Thus Parkinson disease is more likely to be used in the latest medical literature (especially in postprints) than Parkinson's disease.. In maths and physics there are many eponyms without the "s" as well: Fermat polygonal number theorem, Kepler conjecture, or most of Kelvins -- AdrianHObradors (talk) 09:48, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
The possessive use of an eponym should be discontinued, since the author neither had nor owned the disorder.(see Lists of medical eponyms) And while it is argued that this might be incorrect, as the possessive case does not always imply possession, I believe that we should still go with it. Unless there has been any other conference since were the naming of diseases has also been discussed, we should go by the established. Also, as shown above, NHS and Bone Cancer research trust, both from UK, use Ewing. Plus ICD-11, from the WHO. -- AdrianHObradors (talk) 11:19, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
