Abstract

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most frequent malignant brain tumor in children. Patients with MB who are classified as having high-risk disease or those with recurrent disease respond poorly to current therapies and have an increased risk of MB-related mortality. Preclinical studies and molecular profiling of MB tumors have revealed upregulation or activation of several key signaling pathways such as the sonic hedgehog and WNT pathways. Although the exact mechanisms underlying MB tumorigenesis remain poorly understood, inhibiting these key pathways with molecularly targeted therapies represents an important approach to improving MB outcomes. Several molecularly targeted therapies are already under clinical investigation in MB patients. We discuss current preclinical and clinical data, as well as data from clinical trials of targeted therapies that are either ongoing or in development for MB.

摘要

髓母细胞瘤(MB)是儿童中最常见的恶性脑肿瘤。被归类为患有高危疾病的 MB 患者或患有复发性疾病的患者对当前的治疗反应不佳,并且有增加的与 MB 相关的死亡率。MB 肿瘤的临床前研究和分子分析揭示了几种关键信号通路的上调或激活,例如 sonic hedgehog 和 WNT 通路。尽管 MB 肿瘤发生的确切机制仍知之甚少,但用分子靶向疗法抑制这些关键通路是改善 MB 预后的重要方法。几种分子靶向疗法已经在 MB 患者中进行临床研究。我们讨论了当前的临床前和临床数据,以及正在进行或正在开发用于 MB 的靶向治疗的临床试验数据。
