[Combined radio-immuno-chemotherapy for medulloblastoma]

The authors studied 10 cases of medulloblastoma by CT scan and reviewed treatment, result and pathological findings. Combined radio-chemo-immuno therapy (RAFP therapy: Radiation, ACNU, FT-207, PSK) resulted in 5 cases of complete remission and 4 cases of partial remission. In the most effective group, the tumor shadow disappeared after irradiation of 3,000 rad. In 2 cases the tumor shadow did not disappear after RAFP therapy, and total removal was performed. In pathological examination highly differentiated cell groups were recognized. For medulloblastomas we recommend a combination of radiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy, such as RAFP therapy, and if the tumor shadow still remains, surgery.
