abstract = {Pediatric neuro-oncology has undergone an exciting and
dramatic transformation during the past 5 years. This
article summarizes data from collaborative group and
institutional trials that have advanced the science of
pediatric brain tumors and survival of patients with these
tumors. Advanced genomic analysis of the entire spectrum of
pediatric brain tumors has heralded an era in which
stakeholders in the pediatric neuro-oncology community are
being challenged to reconsider their current research and
diagnostic and treatment strategies. The incorporation of
this new information into the next-generation treatment
protocols will unleash new challenges. This review
succinctly summarizes the key advances in our understanding
of the common pediatric brain tumors (ie, medulloblastoma,
low- and high-grade gliomas, diffuse intrinsic pontine
glioma, and ependymoma) and some selected rare tumors (ie,
atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor and CNS primitive
neuroectodermal tumor). The potential impact of this new
information on future clinical protocols also is discussed.
Cutting-edge genomics technologies and the information
gained from such studies are facilitating the identification
of molecularly defined subgroups within patients with
particular pediatric brain tumors. The number of evaluable
patients in each subgroup is small, particularly in the
subgroups of rare diseases. Therefore, international
collaboration will be crucial to draw meaningful conclusions
about novel approaches to treating pediatric brain tumors.},
