Notes:
Abstract Chemotherapy has an important role in the modern treatment of children with medulloblastoma (MB). In patients at high risk, intense chemotherapy should improve the survival rate. In low-risk patients chemotherapy should allow the dose of craniospinal irradiation to be reduced, which in turn should improve the quality of life. In infants under 3 years of age radiotherapy should be delayed, or even replaced by postoperative chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is also necessary to prevent or treat systemic dissemination. The optimal timing of chemotherapy is a focus of contemporary research.
