Clinical features and prognostic analysis of children with medulloblastoma in a single center in China

Abstract

Background: Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. This study systematically summarized the clinical characteristics and prognosis of children with MB respectively. Univariate survival analysis identified age <3 years and the absence of radiotherapy as poor prognostic factors (both P<0.05). Conclusions: Survival outcomes were good among patients with MB (MB) in our center. Young age and the omission of radiotherapy may be predictive of poor outcomes.
