Targeting the Hedgehog Pathway in Pediatric Medulloblastoma

Abstract excerpt

Medulloblastoma (MB), a primitive neuroectomal tumor of the cerebellum, is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. The cause of MB is largely unknown, but aberrant activation of Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is responsible for ~30% of MB. Despite aggressive treatment with surgical resection, radiation and chemotherapy, 70%-80% of pediatric medulloblastoma cases can be controlled, but most treated patients suffer...
