The results of treatment of infants with medulloblastoma using surgery and chemotherapy, without the use of radiation therapy, are reported. Both survival and outcome, in terms of growth, neurologic deficit, and intelligence are compared with the same parameters in children treated conventionally. Although preliminary, our results suggest that chemotherapy combined with surgery is a valid option for the treatment of infants with this type of neoplasm.
报告了采用手术和化疗治疗髓母细胞瘤婴儿的结果，未使用放射治疗。将这些婴儿在生存以及生长、神经功能缺损和智力方面的预后与采用传统治疗方法的儿童的相同参数进行了比较。尽管是初步结果，但我们的结果表明，化疗联合手术是治疗这类肿瘤婴儿的一种有效选择。
