Abstract Medulloblastoma is the most common pediatric malignancy of the brain and spine and a major cause of childhood cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Novel therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. The malignant behavior of this disease is influenced both by cell intrinsic factors and by the complex interactions of the tumor cells with its tumor microenvironment.
