| Popis: | Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid tumor in pediatrics and represent the largest cause of childhood cancer-related mortality. With advances in molecular characterization of tumors, considerable developments have occurred impacting diagnosis and management, and refined prognostication. Advances in management have led to better survival, but mortality remains high and significant morbidity persists. Novel therapeutic approaches targeting the biology of these tumors are being investigated to improve overall survival and decrease treatment-related morbidity. Further molecular understanding of pediatric CNS tumors will lead to continued refinement of tumor classification, management, and prognostication. |
