A medulloblastoma composed of large cells with prominent nucleoli and a larger amount of cytoplasm in contrast with the cells of the classic medulloblastoma.
Comprehensive, easy-to-understand information about this condition
How we create this content →The limited documentation surrounding large cell medulloblastoma is primarily due to its rarity, which restricts the scope of systematic clinical studies. Additionally, the genetic basis and clinical features are not well-defined, leading to challenges in understanding the condition fully. Ongoing research may provide further insights.
To navigate your care effectively, seek a neuro-oncologist with expertise in pediatric brain tumors or medulloblastomas. They can provide specialized insights into your condition. Consider exploring resources such as the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) at rarediseases.org for additional support and information. Participating in clinical trials may also be an option; check the ClinicalTrials.gov link for opportunities related to large cell medulloblastoma.
Currently, there are three orphan drugs designated for large cell medulloblastoma: 1,2:5,6-dianhydrogalactitol, genetically engineered herpes simplex virus, and silmitasertib. There is also one active clinical trial available. For more information on ongoing studies, you can visit ClinicalTrials.gov and search for 'large cell medulloblastoma'. This research represents a hopeful avenue for future treatment options.
