Abstract
In a prospective, randomized, cooperative group trial, the value of iv vincristine and intrathecal methotrexate and hydrocortisone as adjuvant therapy to radiotherapy in children with medulloblastoma and ependymoma was evaluated. The data showed no improvement in the survival of such children when adjuvant therapy was given.
