[Neuropathological diagnostics in pediatric oncology from the clinical point of view].
Treatment of pediatric brain tumors in children and adolescents is a tremendous challenge for the treating physicians, requiring a multidisciplinary approach and co-operation of multiple sub-specialities. Considerable progress in diagnostics and treatment of brain tumors has been made in recent years. In many brain tumors, especially embryonal brain tumors important, clinically relevant bio markers, were identified and are increasingly used in patient stratification into risk groups. Collaboration between clinicians, pathologists and molecular biologists is essential for successful therapy. This article gives some examples of collaboration in pediatric neuro-oncology.
