| Summary: | A rare type of brain tumor, pineoblastoma (PNET) is found in young adults and children. PNETs are rarest representing under 1% of all cerebrum cancers. The most common type of this type of tumor starts at the pineal glands, a small gland located at the base of the brain. Pineoblastomas make up approximately 50% of all pineal gland tumors. These tumors can be challenging to treat because of their location in the brain. The five-year endurance of patients of PNETs or pineoblastoma is around 50-60%. Infants and children who have had partial surgical removal and a poor response to radiation therapy have less favorable outcomes. |
