Abstract EN
Purpose.
To correlate the radiological aspects of metastases, the response to chemotherapy, and patient outcome in disseminated childhood medulloblastoma.
Patients and Methods.
This population-based study concerned 117 newly diagnosed children with disseminated medulloblastoma treated at the Institute Gustave Roussy between 1988 and 2008.
Metastatic disease was assessed using the Chang staging system, their form (positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), nodular or laminar), and their extension (positive cerebrospinal fluid, local, extensive).
All patients received preirradiation chemotherapy.
Results.
The overall survival did not differ according to Chang M-stage.
The 5-year overall survival was 59% in patients with nodular metastases compared to 35% in those with laminar metastases.
The 5-year overall survival was 76% in patients without disease at the end of pre-irradiation chemotherapy compared to 34% in those without a complete response (P=0.0008).
Conclusions.
Radiological characteristics of metastases correlated with survival in patients with medulloblastoma.
Complete response to sandwich chemotherapy was a strong predictor of survival.
