A series of 44 patients with medulloblastoma is presented. The treatment was primary operation followed by irradiation of the entire CNS. The 3-year and 5-year survival rates for children and adults together were 36 and 33 per cent, respectively, and for children alone 37 amd 33 per cent, respectively. No certain difference in the prognosis for boys and girls was found.Keywords
