Medulloblastoma: Distinctive Histo-Molecular Correlation with Clinical Profile, Radiologic Characteristics, and Surgical Outcome

Abstract

Majority of the patients were pediatric in the study. Age, hemispheric location of tumor, extent of resection, and adjuvant treatment status were the important clinical prognostic factors for survival. Surgery for MB is formidable, and VPS can be considered in persistent symptomatic and progressive HCP. Our study on pediatric and adult MB validates the prognostic significance of various clinical, radiologic, and histo-molecular parameters of MB.
