Abstract

Current treatment protocols for medulloblastomas(MBs)stratify patients into high and average risk groups according to their age, metastatic status, and residual tumor volume after resection. Recent genetic and molecular biological reserach revealed that MBs are classified into at least four core subgroups - WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4 - based on differences in their cytogenetics, mutational spectra, and gene expression signatures, as well as in their clinical phenotypes and prognosis. Latest studies suggest more distinct subtypes of MBs by DNA methylation profiles. In addition to conventional clinical risk stratification, new molecular risk stratification using molecular subgroups/subtypes, cytogenetic features and copy number aberrations help understand the outcome of current standard and/or experimental therapies. To achieve further improvement in prognosis and reduce treatment-related adverse events, the efficiency and safety of low-dose craniospinal irradiation and novel molecular targeted drugs, including SMO inhibitors, cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6, or checkpoint kinase 1/2 inhibitors, have been examined with respect to the molecular properties of each tumor. The molecular information of each MB is indispensable for precision medicine of MBs, strongly promoting the development of advanced therapeutic strategies of MBs.
