Medulloblastoma is a rare type of malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumor that most commonly forms in the cerebellum, the lower back part of the brain involved in muscle coordination, balance, and movement. Medulloblastoma tends to spread through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — the fluid that surrounds and protects your brain and spinal cord — to other areas around the brain and spinal cord, and can also sometimes, yet rarely, spread to the lymphatic system or bones. All medulloblastoma tumors are categorized as grade IV tumors, which means they are fast-growing and malignant. In recent years, several studies have shown that there may be a few different forms or subtypes of medulloblastoma, identified based on the types of genetic mutations found within the tumor.
Medulloblastoma can occur at any age, but mostly affects young children under the age of 15. Although medulloblastoma is rare, it is the most common cancerous brain tumor in children and accounts for about 15-20% of all pediatric brain tumors.
Medulloblastoma treatment options depend on the type and size of the tumor, and include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and in some cases, bone marrow transplantation.

Benefits of Getting Medulloblastoma Treatment in Israel
Quality of Care:
Israeli physicians are exceptionally well-trained and often spend even more time on their medical education than American doctors. Also, you can be assured of high standards and strict safety regulations if you choose a hospital accredited by a trustworthy authority.
Cost:
In many countries, healthcare costs can be exorbitant. Without insurance, the costs of cancer treatment can be crippling. Prices are much lower in Israel, averaging 30-80% less than in the US, for example. That said, you’re not trading affordability for quality, since Israeli specialists, medical institutions, equipment, and procedures are among the most advanced in the world.
Advanced Treatment:
Medical institutions in Israel and the US often collaborate in advanced cancer research, developing new and effective treatments against the disease, yet Israel has fewer constraints than the US when it comes to adopting novel treatments. Israeli clinical trials still adhere to the highest standards of safety, but innovative treatments are generally made available to patients sooner than in the US
