Objective: This article reviews the most common pediatric brain tumors, neurocutaneous syndromes, treatment-related neurotoxicities, and the long-term outcomes of survivors.
Latest developments: In the era of molecular diagnostics, the classification, management, and prognostication of pediatric brain tumors and neurocutaneous syndromes has been refined, resulting in advancements in patient management. Molecular diagnostics have been incorporated into the most recent World Health Organization 2021 classification. This knowledge has allowed for novel therapeutic approaches targeting the biology of these tumors with the intent to improve overall survival, decrease treatment-related morbidity, and improve quality of life. Advances in management have led to better survival, but mortality remains high and significant morbidity persists. Current clinical trials focus on tumor biology targeted therapy, deescalation of therapy, and multimodal intensified approaches with targeted therapy in more high-risk tumors.
Essential points: Molecular diagnostics for pediatric brain tumors and neurocutaneous syndromes have led to novel therapeutic approaches targeting the biology of these tumors with the goals of improving overall survival and decreasing treatment-related morbidity. Further understanding will lead to continued refinement and improvement of tumor classification, management, and prognostication.
