Medulloblastomas and Cerebellar Sarcomas

Abstract

This study was begun at the suggestion of Dr. Arthur Elvidge while the author was a Fellow in the Tumour Registry and Follow-Up Clinic. It was thought that by analyzing carefully the material gathered over a period of thirty years, and comprising the medulloblastomas and cerebellar sarcomas seen at the Montreal Neurological Institute during that time, pertinent information could be obtained concerning a) the difference in survival time in medulloblastomas and cerebellar sarcomas and b) types of treatment leading to prolongation of useful life in patients suffering from this disease.
