Medulloblastoma Research Paper

Medulloblastoma’s are the most common embryonal brain tumors found in the pediatric population. Although there are many treatments that have greatly improved the disease outcome, still about one-third of medulloblastoma patients remain incurable, and many long-term survivors suffer from the many toxins found in the current treatment. Understanding the signaling pathways and the genetic mechanisms contributed to medulloblastoma development would be the key to develop excellent therapeutic treatment strategies for improving survival and outcome of medulloblastoma patients. There have been multiple signaling pathways associated with medulloblatoma’s that effect their formation and growth. These include developmental pathways as well as receptor
