Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Participants must have classical histology posterior fossa medulloblastoma as determined by institutional neuro-pathological evaluation.
  • Participants must have tumor tissue samples (either paraffin embedded tissue block or frozen tissue) for NanoString test for distinguishing the molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma in Xinhua hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine (SHXH).
  • Participants must provide tumor tissue samples (either paraffin embedded tissue block or frozen tissue) for immunohistochemistry assessment in verifying the molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma, or conduct the same immunohistochemistry test according to central analysis in SHXH, and send the slides to SHXH for center reviewing.
  • Diagnostic imaging (pre and post operation (OP) contrast MRI or CT, Post-OP imaging conducted within 72 hours, no later than 14 days) must be forwarded to SHXH for central review to confirm eligibility.
  • Sufficient pathologic material must be available for central analysis and review in SHXH.
  • The patients must have no previous radiotherapy or chemotherapy other than corticosteroids.
  • Ability to understand and willingness to comply with follow-up visits.
  • Life expectancy more than 4 weeks.

Exclusion

  • Patients must not have received any prior tumor-directed therapy other than surgical intervention and corticosteroids.
  • Tumor tissue sample not available for biological studies (from the initial diagnosis and/or relapse).
  • Clinically significant unrelated systemic illness (e.g., serious infection or significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, or other organ dysfunction) that would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate standard treatment or would likely interfere with study results.
  • Patients obtained no radiation and/or chemo therapies are not excluded in this study since the nature history of the disease will also be evaluated.
