FTY720 Decreases Tumorigenesis in Group 3 Medulloblastoma Patient-Derived Xenografts

Abstract Group 3 tumors account for 28% of medulloblastomas and have the worst prognosis. FTY720, an immunosuppressant currently approved for treatment of multiple sclerosis, has shown antitumor effects in several human cancer cell lines. We hypothesized that treatment with FTY720 (fingolimod) would...
