Prospective randomised trial of chemotherapy given before radiotherapy in childhood medulloblastoma. International society of paediatric oncology (SIOP) and the (German) society of paediatric oncology (GPO): SIOP II
Abstract
In a multicentre randomised clinical trial 364 children with biopsy proven medulloblastoma were randomly assigned to receive or not pre‐radiotherapy chemotherapy. Children with total or subtotal removal of the tumour, no evidence of invasive brain stem involvement, and no evidence of metastatic disease either within or without the cranium were designated “low risk”, those with gross residual tumour, evidence of invasive brain stem involvement or metastases in the central nervous system were designated “high risk”. All children were prescribed 55 Gy to the tumour bearing area. “Low risk” children could be randomised to “standard” radiotherapy 35 Gy to the craniospinal axis or “reduced” dose 25 Gy to the craniospinal axis. Chemotherapy consisted of vincristine, procarbazine, and methotrexate given in a 6‐week module before radiotherapy, and for “high risk” children, vincristine and CCNU given after radiotherapy. No benefit for the receipt of pre‐radiotherapy chemotherapy could be demonstrated for any group. In addition, a negative interaction was observed between the receipt of the chemotherapy and reduced dose radiotherapy with a particularly poor outcome being observed in this group of children. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
