Summary
Brain tumours are the most common cause of cancer-related death in children and the tumour medulloblastoma is the most frequent. There is a need to develop new therapeutic approaches to treating medulloblastoma through the development of new drugs to directly target the tumour. This research has identified new genes that are good candidates as drug targets for treating medulloblastoma.
