Medulloblastoma

Medulloblastoma is a type of brain cancer that primarily affects children, typically found in the cerebellum, the area of the brain responsible for coordination and balance. It begins in the brain's immature nerve cells and can spread to other parts of the central nervous system. Symptoms might include headaches, nausea, balance issues, and changes in behavior. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. While it can be aggressive, advances in medical research have improved survival rates, making early diagnosis and intervention crucial for better outcomes.
