Progress in radiotherapy of intracranial germinoma

Over the past decades, radiotherapy for intracranial germinoma has been based on craniospinal irradiation or whole ventricle radiotherapy, with either approach resulting in a high survival rate. In recent years, the research on radiotherapy has mainly focused on reducing the volume or intensity of radiation to further reduce the complications. This paper reviews the active exploration and research on the choice of radiotherapy schemes conducted by domestic and foreign scholars in order to provide some ideas and references for future clinical works.
