[Results of the treatment of children with brain neoplasms. I. Survival of children and cause of death].
In a group of 146 children aged from 8 months to 16 years treated for brain neoplasms the authors analysed the therapeutic results. Excluding the so called operative losses the survival over 4 years was obtained in one-fourth of patients with medulloblastoma, in over one-third of those with ependymoma, one-half of astrocytoma cases, and over one-third of children with other neoplasms. The authors estimate positively the therapeutic methods used (operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy by Bloom's schedule) and see the possibility of increasing the survival rate by improvement in the diagnosis of brain tumours in children and by optimalization of treatment, especially in its early period, for reducing the number of operative losses.
