Abstract:

Medulloblastoma (MB) is a common intracranial malignancy in children with a high recurrence rate despite standardized multimodal initial treatment. The prognosis of recurrent children is very poor even after intensive treatment. In recent years, the in-depth understanding of the clinical and biological characteristics of MB recurrence can guide the clinical design of relevant treatment strategies and implement of clinical trials. This paper reviews the research progress of the above contents, hoping to promote the speed of its clinical transformation and application, and finally benefit the clinical practice.

Key words: medulloblastoma, recurrent, therapy, child
