Clinical Trials Jennifer Elster, MD is currently running
Individualized Treatment
for Medulloblastoma
The current study will use a new treatment approach based on the molecular characteristics of each participant's tumor. The study will test the feasibility of performing real-time drug screening on tissue taken during surgery, and of having a specialized tumor board assign a treatment plan based on the results of this screening and genomic sequencing. The aim of this trial is to allow every child and young adult with medulloblastoma to receive the most effective and least toxic therapies currently available, and will pave the way for improved understanding and treatment of these tumors in the future.
