Although ATRT diagnosed before the age of 3 is typically viewed a poor prognostic age category, our findings demonstrate that the clinical profile of this pediatric niche is highly heterogeneous based on age of diagnosis. Survival of only those diagnosed between 0 and 1 years is independently prognosticated by all three treatment modalities; patients diagnosed between 1 and 2 years trend towards longest survival, and socioeconomic parameters are most influential in those diagnosed between 2 and 3 years.
