An aggressive, unresected pineoblastoma in an adult woman: the role of exclusive radiotherapy – a case report and literature review
This case demonstrates the potential of exclusive RT as an effective treatment for PBL in patients who cannot undergo surgery. Despite the patient's permanent blindness, RT led to a significant reduction in tumour size and stabilisation of the disease. More research is necessary to define the most effective treatment strategies for PBL, particularly in adults, where surgical options may be limited.
