abstract = {Medulloblastoma is curable in approximately $70\%$ of
patients. Over the past decade, progress in improving
survival using conventional therapies has stalled, resulting
in reduced quality of life due to treatment-related side
effects, which are a major concern in survivors. The vast
amount of genomic and molecular data generated over the last
5-10 years encourages optimism that improved risk
stratification and new molecular targets will improve
outcomes. It is now clear that medulloblastoma is not a
single-disease entity, but instead consists of at least four
distinct molecular subgroups: WNT/Wingless, Sonic Hedgehog,
Group 3, and Group 4. The Medulloblastoma Down Under 2013
meeting, which convened at Bunker Bay, Australia, brought
together 50 leading clinicians and scientists. The 2-day
agenda included focused sessions on pathology and molecular
stratification, genomics and mouse models, high-throughput
drug screening, and clinical trial design. The meeting
established a global action plan to translate novel biologic
insights and drug targeting into treatment regimens to
improve outcomes. A consensus was reached in several key
areas, with the most important being that a novel
classification scheme for medulloblastoma based on the four
molecular subgroups, as well as histopathologic features,
should be presented for consideration in the upcoming fifth
edition of the World Health Organization's classification of
tumours of the central nervous system. Three other notable
areas of agreement were as follows: (1) to establish a
central repository of annotated mouse models that are
readily accessible and freely available to the international
research community; (2) to institute common eligibility
criteria between the Children's Oncology Group and the
International Society of Paediatric Oncology Europe and
initiate joint or parallel clinical trials; (3) to share
preliminary high-throughput screening data across discovery
labs to hasten the development of novel therapeutics.
Medulloblastoma Down Under 2013 was an effective forum for
meaningful discussion, which resulted in enhancing
international collaborative clinical and translational
research of this rare disease. This template could be
applied to other fields to devise global action plans
addressing all aspects of a disease, from improved disease
classification, treatment stratification, and drug targeting
to superior treatment regimens to be assessed in cooperative
international clinical trials.},
