What was measured

NLPF failure was defined as tumor recurrence/progression outside the radiation therapy clinical target volume boost (CTV-boost) but within the posterior fossa CTV (CTV-PF). The cumulative incidence (CI) of NLPF failure was estimated; 3-year estimates were reported with 95% confidence intervals. Patients with other failure types (e.g., NPF, LPF) and with other events prior to NLPF failure (e.g., death, second malignancy) were considered as having competing events.

Analysis population: Eligible and evaluable patients 3-21 yrs of age are included. Patients with anaplastic histology or disseminated/excess residual disease were not evaluable (NE). Arms I/III/V \[IFRT\] are combined \& arms II/IV/VI \[PFRT\] are combined. 26 \& 23 IFRT \& PFRT pts were NE and were excluded, leaving 227 and 237 eligible and evaluable pts.

Groups in this outcome

Involved Field Radiation (IFRT)

Includes eligible patients 3-21 years of age without anaplastic histology or evidence of disseminated or ERD based on central review and randomized to one of the IFRT arms (Treatment Arms I, III, V)

Posterior Fossa Radiation (PFRT)

Includes eligible patients 3-21 years of age without anaplastic histology or evidence of disseminated or ERD based on central review and randomized to one of the PFRT arms (Treatment Arms II, IV, VI).
