## BACKGROUND. To the authors' knowledge there are relatively few data concerning supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET). The authors retrospectively reviewed all cases of PNET of the brain treated at the study institution to determine whether there was a difference in presentation,

## Abstract Chemotherapy has only marginal efficacy in adult malignant brain tumors. In contrast, drug therapy is considerably more effective in medulloblastoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumors (MB/PNET) of the posterior fossa, the most common childhood primary central nervous system tumor. At the
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors/medulloblastoma (PNET/MB) are the most common posterior fossa tumors in childhood. Despite surgery and radiation therapy, 40% to 50% of children with PNET/MB will have recurrent disease. Various chemotherapeutic agents are transiently effective in recurrent PNET/MB,
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a common complication of cancer treatment; it can affect energy levels and, as a consequence, quality of life. The goal of the current study was to evaluate the effect of dietetic intervention in a cohort of children treated for medulloblastoma and suprate
## Background: It has been suggested that cerebellar medulloblastoma (m) and primitive neuroectodermal tumors (pnet) arising elsewhere in the nervous system, represent a single entity (m/pnet), although this concept is controversial. cancer registries permit population-based description of cases re
