Description

The quality of resection is a major prognosis factor. The systematic postoperative MRI allows a precise selection of patients with standard risk medulloblastomas for which the only radiotherapy allows an excellent local control. The radiotherapy stopping and the delay are prognosis factors of neurology recurrence. (N.C.)
