Neuroectodermal tumors are a group of cancers that arise from neuroectodermal cells, which are involved in the development of the nervous system. These tumors can occur in various parts of the body, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. One common type is medulloblastoma, which primarily affects children and originates in the cerebellum. Another type is neuroblastoma, which typically occurs in infants and young children, often starting in the adrenal glands. Treatment options for neuroectodermal tumors may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the tumor's location and stage. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes.
