Abstract

Current approaches to children with brain tumors are in a state of evolution. Currently, 50% of children with all types of brain tumors may be expected to survive 5 years. Therefore, the goals of neuro-oncology have broadened to include improved survival and improved quality of life. This article reviews changes in therapy that have altered survival as well as changes in therapy as a consequence of increasing recognition of complications and toxicity of treatment.
