Overview

The staging of medulloblastoma is based on the TNM clinical classification.[1][2][3]

TNM Classification of Medulloblastoma

  • The staging of medulloblastoma is based on the TNM clinical classification demonstrated below.[1][2][3]

T: Primary Tumor

T Description
TX Primary tumor cannot be assessed
T0 There is no evidence of primary tumor
T1 Tumor size <3 cm in diameter
T2 Tumor size ≥3 cm in diameter with no evidence of extension
T3a Tumor size >3 cm in diameter with extension into aqueduct of Sylvius or foramen of Luschka
T3b Tumor size >3 cm in diameter with definite spread into the brain stem
T4 Tumor size >3 cm in diameter with extension past aqueduct of Sylvius or down past foramen magnum

N:Regional Lymph Nodes

An N classification cannot be applied to medulloblastoma.

M: Distant Metastasis

T Description
M0 No evidence of metastasis
M1 Microscopic tumor cells presemt in the cerebrospinal fluid
M2 Gross nodular seeding present intracranially beyond the primary site
M3 Gross nodular seeding present in the spinal subarachnoid space
M4 Metastasis present outside the cerebrospinal axis
