Table 3. Anatomical pattern of recurrence stratified by treatment with craniospinal irradiation across medulloblastoma subgroups combining all three cohorts.

SHH (p=0.83) Local Mixed Metastatic
 Chemotherapy (n = 20) 14 (70%) 1 (5%) 5 (25%)
 CSI+/-Chemotherapy (n = 38) 26 (68·4%) 4 (10·5%) 8 (21·1%)
Group 3 (p=0.32)
 Chemotherapy (n = 19) 2 (10%) 7 (35%) 11 (55%)
 CSI+/-Chemotherapy (n = 48) 4 (8·3%) 9 (18.8%) 35 (72·9%)
Group 4 (p=0.031)
 Chemotherapy (n = 8) 3 (37·5%) 2 (25%) 3 (38%)
 CSI+/-Chemotherapy (n = 59) 4 (6·8%) 12 (20%) 43 (73%)

p-values determined by the Fisher's exact test; comparison of local vs mixed vs metastatic pattern of recurrence.

Note: Two patients in Validation Cohort 1 received focal RT with chemotherapy, one SHH with a metastatic recurrence and one Group 4 with a metastatic recurrence. Both cases are included in the chemotherapy only category. CSI=Craniospinal Irradiation
