  • Title: Late recurrence of medulloblastoma.
    Author: Stevens B, Razzaqi F, Yu L, Craver R.
    Journal: J La State Med Soc; 2008; 160(3):138-41. PubMed ID: 18655650.
    Abstract:
    We present a child with a cerebellar medulloblastoma, diagnosed at age three, treated with near total surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, that recurred 13 years after the initial diagnosis. This late recurrence exceeds the typical 10-year survival statistics that are in common use, and exceeds the Collins rule. Continued follow-up of these children is justified to increase the likelihood of detecting these late recurrences early and to learn more about these late recurrences.
