Medulloblastoma
Differences between adults and children
•
Incidence of late relapses: in children late relapses
uncommon. In adult series, similar plateaus
normally not observed
•
Type of metastatic spread: in children majority of
relapses are disseminated and in the CNS. In
adults there is a higher tendency for isolated
relapses, the relative contribution of extracranial
metastases is higher, although still uncommon
