MERIT (Multimodal approach for the treatment of pediatric brain tumors)

MERIT (Multimodal approach for the treatment of pediatric brain tumors) is a comprehensive strategy that combines different treatment methods—such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy—to effectively tackle brain tumors in children. By integrating these approaches, MERIT aims to improve survival rates while minimizing side effects. The approach is personalized, considering the tumor's type, location, and the child's overall health, to develop a tailored treatment plan. Overall, MERIT seeks to optimize outcomes for young patients through a coordinated and multi-faceted treatment plan.
