Overview

Medulloblastoma may be classified into several subtypes based on WHO histological classification criteria (classic vs variant medulloblastoma) and the molecular subtypes classification criteria (WNT subgroup vs SHH subgroup vs Group 3 medulloblastoma vs Group 4 medulloblastoma).[1][2][3][4][5]

Classification

WHO histological classification criteria

  • Medulloblastoma may be classified into two subtypes based on WHO histological classification criteria which include classic medulloblastoma and variant medulloblastoma.
  • Other variants of medulloblastoma include desmoplastic medulloblastoma, large cell medulloblastoma, anaplastic​ medulloblastoma and medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity.[4][5][2]

Molecular classification criteria

  • Medulloblastoma may be classified into at least four major subtypes based on molecular classification criteria which include WNT subgroup, SHH subgroup, Group C and Group D medulloblastoma.[1][3]

Risk stratification criteria

  • Medulloblastoma may be stratified based on the patient age, tumor stage, and the extent of any previous surgical resection into either standard risk group patients or high risk group patients.[6]
  • The risk stratification criteria may help predict the treatment protocol that should be used for medulloblastoma patients.
  • The table below demonstrates the risk stratification criteria for medulloblastoma patients:[6]


Parameters Standard Risk Group High Risk Group

Age

Patients older than 3 years of age
Patients younger than 3 years of age

Extent of previous surgical resection

<1.5 cm² residual tumor after resection
Subtotal resection or >1.5 cm² residual tumor after resection

Stage according to modified Chang's system

M0 stage confirmed by MRI and CSF sampling
M1-M3 stage or presence of leptomeningeal seeding
