Résumé

As far as malignant tumors of the central nervous system are concerned, glioblastoma (GB) and neuroblastoma (NB) are the most prevalent, aggressive, and fatal forms in adult and pediatric populations, respectively. NB is the most prominent childhood extracranial compact neoplasm in pediatrics when the embryo develops from undifferentiated neural crest cells. Regarding malignant primary brain tumors, GB is the most lethal and difficult to treat. Currently, there are few effective treatments available for either condition. Research using zebrafish is relatively new in the field of animal cancer studies, and the first results show promise. In particular, integrated genomic investigations of NB and GB have revealed the potential of the zebrafish model in elucidating the roles of specific genetic changes in the development of this fatal childhood malignancy. Hence, this study examines the possibility of zebrafish as a model organism for discovering integrative medicines for these types of cancer. This model is an excellent animal model for study due to its transparency, ease of genetic modification, ethics and financial benefits, and preservation of the primary brain areas andbloodbrain barrier (BBB). This review provides recent developments in the zebrafish model of NB and GB to illustrate the benefits of using them in cancer studies as a model of the organism. This approach provides novel insights into delivering individualized treatment and enhancing outcomes for people coping with central nervous system malignancies.
