A markedly worse prognosis was demonstrated for children aged 5 years or younger compared with older patients (5-year survival rate: 15% for children aged 5 yr vs 57% for children aged 5 yr).[emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis Pineal tumors are treatable, and in many cases, curable. The ideal approach to treatment depends on the size and type of tumor, and the extent to which the tumor is invading or compressing surrounding neurovascular structures.[skullbaseinstitute.com]
