Brief summary in lay language

Medulloblastoma is the most common malign tumor in children and adolescents. Medulloblastoma in adults are relaltively infrequent with an amount of 1% of all brain tumors in adulthood. Until now most adult patients with medulloblastoma were treated according to paediatric protocols or individual therapy regimes. This study intends for the first time a prospective data ascertainment for the treatment of adults with a therapy, which is up to now known as standard therapy of children. The primary purpose is the examination of discontinuation due to toxicity and also to determine the toxicity of maintenance chemotherapy. Secondly the objective is to identify the 3 and 5 year progression-free survival (PFS), event-free survival (EFS) as well as the overall survival (OS) and to compare PFS with the historical comparison group from the HIT’91-Study
