Prognostic factors in medulloblastoma
American Journal of Clinical Oncology
|August 1, 1982
Abstract:
Clinical data on 30 patients with cerebellar medulloblastoma treated at this institution were analyzed. This review presents data on the clinical features, natural history of disease, and prognostic factors, as well as survival. Patients were treated uniformly using similar methods and tumor doses. The two important factors were use of optimum techniques and dosage of radiotherapy, and extent of the disease. The development of hydrocephalus had significant bearing on the prognosis, and there was a correlation between survival and clinical evidence of hydrocephalus.

02:07Tumor Progression
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
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...
