====== 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

of Cystic Cerebellar Tumors. World Neurosurg. 2015 Sep;84(3):867.e7-867.e11. doi:
