A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.
Untreated Childhood Supratentorial Primitive
Neuroectodermal Tumors and Pineoblastoma
Untreated childhood supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors and pineoblastoma are tumors for which no treatment has been given. The child may have received drugs or treatment to relieve symptoms caused by the tumor.
Standard treatment of supratentorial neuroectodermal tumors or pineoblastoma in
children 3 years of age and older may include the following:
Some of the treatments being studied in clinical trials for supratentorial neuroectodermal tumors or pineoblastoma in children 3 years of age and older include the following:
- A clinical trial of chemotherapy given before or after radiation
therapy.
- A clinical trial of chemotherapy to delay or reduce the need
for radiation therapy.
Standard treatment of supratentorial neuroectodermal tumors or pineoblastoma in
children younger than 3 years of age may include the following:
- Surgery.
- Surgery followed by chemotherapy.
One of the treatments being studied in clinical trials for supratentorial neuroectodermal tumors or pineoblastoma in children younger than 3 years of age includes chemotherapy to delay or reduce the need for radiation therapy.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with untreated childhood supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor and untreated childhood pineoblastoma.
Recurrent Childhood Supratentorial Primitive
Neuroectodermal Tumors and Pineoblastoma
Standard treatment of recurrent childhood supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors and pineoblastoma may include the following:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with recurrent childhood supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor and recurrent childhood pineoblastoma.
