Purpose: We aimed to compare treatment results in and outside of a randomized trial and to confirm factors influencing outcome in a large retrospective cohort of nonmetastatic medulloblastoma treated in Austria, Switzerland and Germany. Methods and Materials: Patients with nonmetastatic medulloblastoma (n = 382) aged 4 to 21 years and primary neurosurgical resection between 2001 and 2011 were assessed. Between 2001 and 2006, 176 of these patients (46.1%) were included in the randomized HIT SIOP PNET 4 trial. From 2001 to 2011 an additional 206 patients were registered to the HIT 2000 study center and underwent the identical central review program. Three different radiation therapy protocols…

Abstract PURPOSE To evaluate prognostic factors and impact of participation in a randomized trial in non-metastatic medulloblastoma. METHODS AND PATIENTS 382 patients with non-metastatic medulloblastoma aged 4–21 years with primary neurosurgical resections between 2001 and 2011 were enrolled into the HIT 2000 trial and centrally reviewed. Between 2001 and 2006, 176 of these patients participated in the randomized trial HIT-SIOP PNET 4. Three different radiotherapy protocols were applied. Molecular subgroup was available for 157 patients. RESULTS Median follow-up was 6.35 [0.09–13.86] years. The 5-year progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 80.3 % ± 2.1 % and 86.5 % ± 1.…
