abstract = {Brain tumors are among the leading causes of cancer-related
deaths in children. Although surgery, aggressive radiation,
and chemotherapy have improved outcomes, many patients still
die of their disease. Moreover, those who survive often
suffer devastating long-term side effects from the
therapies. A greater understanding of the molecular
underpinnings of these diseases will drive the development
of new therapeutic approaches. Advances in genomics and
epigenomics have provided unprecedented insight into the
molecular diversity of these diseases and, in several cases,
have revealed key genes and signaling pathways that drive
tumor growth. These not only serve as potential therapeutic
targets but also have facilitated the creation of animal
models that faithfully recapitulate the human disease for
preclinical studies. In this Review, we discuss recent
progress in understanding the molecular basis of the three
most common malignant pediatric brain
tumors-medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and high-grade
glioma-and the implications for development of safer and
more effective therapies.},
