title: [Therapy of medulloblastomas--results from 1968 to 1985].
abstract: Between 1968 and 1985 35 patients with an histological proven medulloblastoma received radiotherapy after surgery. Patients are divided into three groups, showing the improvement in diagnostic procedures as well as in therapy. These changes result in a higher proportion of patients living longer without disease. Only a close cooperation between surgeon, radiotherapist and pediatric oncologist will give these patients the best chances of cure, if they are treated in multicenter studies.
