Abstract
CNS PNET and pineoblastoma are highly malignant embryonal brain tumours of poor prognosis. Current therapies are based on the treatment of paediatric medulloblastoma, even though these tumours are distinct at both the anatomical and molecular level. CNS PNET and pineoblastoma have a worse clinical outcome than medulloblastoma, thus improved therapies based on an understanding of the underlying biology of CNS PNET and pineoblastoma are needed.
