Childhood brain tumor surgery outcomes study
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at children with tumors in the back part of the brain (the posterior fossa) to understand what affects their recovery after surgery. It may help doctors better predict outcomes for similar cases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are younger than 18 years old.
- You have a tumor in the middle of the back part of the brain (midline posterior fossa).
- You are healthy enough for brain surgery.

This trial tests if intensive physical therapy helps children recover after surgery for a brain tumor at the back of the head. It is designed for kids and young adults up to age 25.
This study looks at “brain biomarkers,” meaning brain signals measured on MRI and thinking/learning tests on a computer. It may help researchers understand how brain tumors affect the brain and track changes over time.
This study compares two surgical methods (craniotomy and craniectomy) for treating lesions at the back of the brain. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes for patients with cerebellar hematoma or other posterior fossa conditions.
This study looks at genetic (DNA/molecular) features of malignant brain tumors in children. It may help doctors better understand tumor risk patterns and guide future treatment planning.
This study follows people with lower-grade (WHO grade 2 or less) brain tumors using repeat MRI scans over time. It helps doctors understand how these tumors change and which patients may safely delay treatment at first.
This study is for people (children or adults) who are planning brain surgery to remove tumor tissue. It may help researchers learn about care for brain tumors and how outcomes can be improved.
