====== Cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma treatment ======

The [[cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma]] treatment of choice is total surgical [[resection]] and in most cases, no further [[irradiation]] or [[chemotherapy]] is required
((Schneider JH, Raffel C, McComb JG. Benign cerebellar astrocytomas of childhood. Neurosurgery. 1992;30(1):58–63. ))

The pure [[neuroendoscopic surgery]] was shown to be [[minimally invasive]] and a successful and secure method to treat cystic [[cerebellar tumor]]s
((Giannetti AV, Rocha MD, Rosseto RS, Pedrosa HA. Pure Neuroendoscopic Resection
of Cystic Cerebellar Tumors. World Neurosurg. 2015 Sep;84(3):867.e7-867.e11. doi:
10.1016/j.wneu.2015.04.029. Epub 2015 Apr 23. PubMed PMID: 25913429.)).
