Yes: Medulloblastoma (mb) is a brain cancer that occurs in the cerebellum, the back part of the brain. It occurs primarily in children, although it occasionally occurs in adults. They are classified by how they look under the microscope; anaplastic mb appears more aggressive under the microscope and is often more difficult to cure than other types of mb.

Anaplastic medullo: Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor (or cancer) in children. Anaplastic medulloblastoma is a particular subtype of this disease. While almost all cases of medulloblastoma occur in children, this disease can also rarely occur in adults.
