What is the survival rate for medulloblastoma (brain tumor)?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Brain tumor: The only persons that can discuss this with you are the doctors who are caring for you - clinician and/or surgeon. Don't hesitate to ask! If you are married or have grown up children or a significant other make sure that one of them goes to the doctor with you. I wish you well!

Agree with: Dr Kleerehopper also encourage you to get support from organizations like Voices Against Brain Cancer (see their website) each case is unique even with the same types of brain cancer survival rates are different. Psychotherapy can be beneficial as well.

See below: About 70-80% of children and about 50% of adults are alive 5 years after the diagnosis. See this site for more info. http://www.abta.org/understanding-brain-tumors/types-of-tumors/medulloblastoma.html.
