If verified by other studies over the next several years, the gene expression profile may help children survive the malignant brain tumor with fewer serious side effects. The study also shows that medulloblastoma has key molecular differences from other brain tumors, which eventually may help researchers find more targeted treatment. The study is published in the Jan. 24 issue of the weekly journal Nature."}
