Popis: | Cerebellar astrocytomas are the most common intracerebral tumor afflicting pediatric patients (Larson 1990). Surgical excision remains the primary mode of treatment (Campbell and Scott), and the extent of surgical resection has been demonstrated to correlate to prognosis (Pencalet et al, J Neurosurg 90(2):265–273, 1999). |
