There is significant intertumoral heterogeneity within the four molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Cavalli et al. apply similarity network fusion to gene expression and DNA methylation data to identify 12 medulloblastoma subtypes with distinct molecular and clinical profiles, making an important step toward molecularly tailored therapy.
