Which of the following malignancy is classified by Chang staging system?
Correct Answer: Medulloblastoma
Description: Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. They are usually midline. Most occur in the cerebellum and present with symptoms of increased ICP. Histologic characteristics include densely packed small round cells with large nuclei and scant cytoplasm. The Chang staging system is currently used to stage medulloblastomas; it categorizes the tumor by size and metastatic spread. They should undergo surgical resection followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Ref: Principles and Practice of Pediatric Neurosurgery edited by A. Leland Albright, P. David Adelson, Ian F.
