The field of adult neuro-oncology includes the treatment of rare brain cancers such as: medulloblastoma, ependymoma, pineal tumours, pilocytic astrocytoma, pleomorphic xanthoastroctyoma, and many others. These are less common in the adult setting and even high volume neuro-oncology centres manage few of these cancers. There are no established standard of care regimens.
Treating clinicians should discuss management of such cases with an experienced, high volume, neuro-oncology multidisciplinary team (MDT).
