  • ND = newly diagnosed; REC = recurrent; TMZ = temozolomide; PCV = procarbazine, lomustine, and vincristine; HIT = randomized, prospective, multicenter trial in order to improve the survival of children with medulloblastoma by using postoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radiation therapy as opposed to maintenance chemotherapy after immediate postoperative radiotherapy.
