Medulloblastoma is the most common brain malignancy in children and tremendous advances have recently been made in understanding the pathogenesis of this tumor. The Hedgehog and Wingless signaling pathways are implicated in medulloblastoma development, and both pathways were discovered as a result of analyses of genetic syndromes associated with the tumor. Over the past 80 years, considerable progress has been made in the treatment of what was once a fatal disease. The first survival reports… Expand
