abstract = {Relapsed medulloblastoma (rMB) accounts for a considerable,
and disproportionate amount of childhood cancer deaths.
Recent advances have gone someway to characterising disease
biology at relapse including second malignancies that often
cannot be distinguished from relapse on imaging alone.
Furthermore, there are now multiple international
early-phase trials exploring drug-target matches across a
range of high-risk/relapsed paediatric tumours. Despite
these advances, treatment at relapse in pre-irradiated
patients is typically non-curative and focuses on providing
life-prolonging and symptom-modifying care that is tailored
to the needs and wishes of the individual and their family.
Here, we describe the current understanding of prognostic
factors at disease relapse such as principal molecular
group, adverse molecular biology, and timing of relapse. We
provide an overview of the clinical diagnostic process
including signs and symptoms, staging investigations, and
molecular pathology, followed by a summary of treatment
modalities and considerations. Finally, we summarise future
directions to progress understanding of treatment resistance
and the biological mechanisms underpinning early
therapy-refractory and relapsed disease. These initiatives
include development of comprehensive and collaborative
molecular profiling approaches at relapse, liquid biopsies
such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a biomarker of minimal
residual disease (MRD), modelling strategies, and the use of
primary tumour material for real-time drug screening
approaches.},
