Abstract
Eight infants with choroid plexus carcinomas were treated with surgery , prolonged postoperative chemotherapy and delayed radiation, The resu lts suggest that some infants with choroid plexus carcinomas can be su ccessfully treated with multimodality therapy, even allowing children with less than a gross total resection to have prolonged disease-free intervals.
