What is another word for Medulloblastoma?
Pronunciation: [mˌɛdəlˌɒblastˈə͡ʊmə] (IPA) 
Medulloblastoma is an aggressive form of brain cancer that is commonly found in children. Some synonyms used to describe this type of malignancy include primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), cerebellar neuroblastoma, and embryonal medulloepithelioma. These terms refer to the cancer's origins in embryonic cells located in the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for motor control and coordination. Despite being rare, medulloblastomas can be life-threatening and require prompt, aggressive treatment. Depending on the tumor's size, location, and spread, a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy may be needed to achieve the best possible outcome for the patient.
