Childhood Medulloblastoma: 20+ Years Cancer-Free | Burzynski

Hearing the word "cancer" is never easy—especially when it's a diagnosis given to a child. Pediatric brain tumors are among the most frightening diagnoses any parent can face. Medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor in children, often requires aggressive treatment and still comes with a challenging prognosis. But what if there was another path—one focused not only on survival but also on preserving quality of life?

A recently published case study offers powerful insight into that possibility. A child diagnosed with medulloblastoma experienced a complete response to treatment and has now survived over 20 years—with normal development and no evidence of disease recurrence. The treatment? A non-toxic, targeted therapy using Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1, under the care of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski at the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, TX.

A Breakthrough in Pediatric Brain Cancer

The case, published in the Journal of Neurology & Stroke, details the journey of a young child facing one of the most serious forms of pediatric brain cancer. Traditional treatment protocols often involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation—powerful tools that can damage developing brain tissue and impact long-term growth and cognitive function.

In this case, however, the patient was treated with Antineoplaston therapy, a type of personalized, non-toxic cancer treatment developed by Dr. Burzynski. The child not only experienced a complete response—meaning the cancer disappeared entirely—but also went on to live a healthy, normal life for more than two decades after treatment.

This is more than just a success story—it's a testament to the potential of alternative, patient-centered therapies in the fight against cancer.

What Are Antineoplastons?

Antineoplastons are naturally occurring peptides and amino acid derivatives found in the human body. Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski discovered that patients with cancer often have lower levels of these compounds, and developed a treatment protocol using synthetic versions to help stimulate the body's own defenses to fight cancer cells.

The goal of Antineoplaston therapy is to:

• Target cancer cells selectively

• Avoid harming healthy cells

• Support the immune system

• Reduce toxic side effects commonly associated with chemotherapy or radiation

Over the years, the Burzynski Clinic in Houston has used Antineoplastons to treat a variety of difficult and resistant cancers, often in patients who have exhausted conventional treatment options.

Why This Case Matters

This medulloblastoma case is particularly significant for several reasons:

1. Long-Term Survival – The patient has remained cancer-free for over 20 years, far exceeding typical expectations for this type of cancer.

2. Normal Childhood Development – Unlike many pediatric brain cancer survivors who face developmental delays or cognitive challenges, this individual experienced normal growth and neurological function.

3. Non-Toxic Treatment – The use of Antineoplastons avoided the harsh side effects of conventional therapies like radiation, which can have lasting impacts on a child’s quality of life.

4. Personalized Care – The treatment was carefully tailored to the patient’s unique diagnosis, reinforcing the importance of individualized cancer care.

For families facing pediatric cancer, this case offers real hope—not just for survival, but for a future filled with health, growth, and possibility.
