Group 3 medulloblastoma

Group 3 medulloblastoma is a serious type of brain tumor that originates in the cerebellum, part of the brain responsible for coordination and movement. It mainly affects children and tends to be aggressive, with a higher risk of spreading or coming back after treatment. Researchers believe it arises from specific cells in the brain early in development. Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by radiation and chemotherapy. Because of its aggressive nature, ongoing research aims to find better therapies tailored to this subtype, improving survival rates and reducing side effects for patients.
