Medulloblastoma treatment

Medulloblastoma treatment options include:

  • Surgery: The goal of medulloblastoma surgery is to remove as much of the tumor as possible
  • Reduced-dose radiation
  • Chemotherapy: This medulloblastoma treatment involves the use of medications that stop the growth of the tumor that can be given orally or through an IV, so that it can travel throughout the body
