Abstract

Attendance during the year 2015was as follows: 42meetings were held; the median number of cases discussed at each meeting was 4 (1to 8); the mean number of attendants was 7 (2to 12). One hundred and sixty-eight cases concerning 121patients were discussed. Mean age was 30years old (7to 67). Forty-eight percent were discussed at diagnosis. The patients had mostly medulloblastomas (40%), germ cell tumors (11%), ependymomas (11%), pineal tumors (7%) and embryonal tumors (8%). The rate of inclusion in protocols was increased since the opening of this web conference, especially for the germ cell tumor SIOP protocol that is opened without age restriction, and in RSMA standard risk or MEVITEM relapse adult medulloblastoma protocols. Multidisciplinary Web conference for AYAs is feasible and increases the inclusion rate in protocols. It should be developed further.
