Abstract

The standard treatment for medulloblastoma is surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and external beam radiotherapy to the craniospinal axis and posterior fossa. However, in very young children, craniospinal irradiation has a more significant detrimental effect in terms of neurocognitive function and growth. This article reviews the different strategies used for very young patients with medulloblastoma.
