TL;DR: The authors aim to limit radiotherapy to cases involving older children in whom other therapies have failed, due to the well-described and often devastating late effects associated with midline cranial irradiation.

TL;DR: This consensus guideline has the potential to improve consistency of craniospinal TV delineation in an era of high-precision radiotherapy and will be incorporated in the RTQA guidelines of future SIOPE-BTG trials using CSI.

TL;DR: The shift towards more conservative surgery has reduced the prevalence of hormone deficiencies, including diabetes insipidus, which can be life threatening, however, it has not been associated with reduced hypothalamic and visual morbidities, which remain a significant challenge.

TL;DR: A rapid review of published literature on the role of radiotherapy in the multimodality treatment of paediatric cancers and recommendations for prioritisation of its use for common and challenging paediatric tumours provides evidence-based treatment recommendations during unexpected shortage of paediatrics radiotherapy facilities.

TL;DR: The literature is reviewed and contemporary management strategies aimed at improving surgical resection at first diagnosis are presented, including improving and centralising post-surgical radiological review, defining what are true residuals, and centralised surgical review of incompletely resected tumours.
