Abstract:
INTRODUCTION. Meduloblastoma is high potential to recur and spread tumour. CASE REPORT. One case posterior fosse meduloblas toma in six years old boy who received 3 surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with local recurrence and extracranial extension into neck laterocervical musculature. CONCLUSION. Although meduloblastoma extraneural metastases are not isolated phenomenon, meduloblastoma extracraneal extension is uncommon phenomenon in local recurrence.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
