BACKGROUND In this study, we report the follow-up results of reduced-dose of craniospinal radiotherapy (CSRT) followed by tandem high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) in patients with high-risk medulloblastoma (MB). METHODS Newly diagnosed high-risk MB patients (metastatic disease, postoperative residual tumor &amp;gt; 1.5 cm2 or large cell/anaplastic histology) over 3 years of age were enrolled in this study. Two cycles of pre-RT chemotherapy, RT including reduced-dose CSRT (23.4 or 30.6 Gy), 4 cycles of post-RT chemotherapy and tandem HDCT were given. NanoString and DNA sequencing were done with archival tissues. RESULTS Forty patients were enrolled, and molecular subgrouping was possible in 21 patients (2 WNT, 3 SHH, 8 Group 3 and 8 group 4). All patients including two patients who experienced progression during the induction chemotherapy underwent HDCT. Relapse/progression occurred only in four patients (10-year cumulative incidence 10.4 ± 0.3%). However, six patients died from treatment-related mortality (TRM) (4 acute TRMs and 2 late TRMs) resulting in 18.5 ± 0.5% of 10-year cumulative incidence. Taken together, the 10-year event-free survival and overall survival were 71.1 ± 8.0% and 68.9 ± 8.5%, respectively. Late effects were evaluated in 25 patients and high-tone hearing loss, endocrine dysfunction, dyslipidemia, and growth retardation were common. CONCLUSIONS Strategy using tandem HDCT following reduced-dose CSRT showed promising results in terms of low relapse/progression rate, however, the high TRM rate indicates that modification of HDCT regimen and careful selection of patients who can have benefit from HDCT will be needed in the future study.
