    This study on intracranial ependymomas found a 31% five-year survival rate, with children having a better prognosis than adults. Systematic radiation therapy is crucial for improving outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiation Oncology

    Context:

    • Intracranial ependymomas represent a significant challenge in neurosurgery.
    • This study analyzes a series of 86 cases, detailing tumor origin and treatment modalities.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical and radiation therapy for intracranial ependymomas.
    • To identify prognostic factors influencing long-term survival in these patients.

    Summary:

    • A series of 86 intracranial ependymomas (53 supratentorial, 33 infratentorial) were treated with surgery and radiation therapy.
    • Operative mortality was 25%, with a 5-year survival rate of 31%. Low-grade tumors showed better prognosis.
    • Tumor location and extent of surgical excision did not impact long-term survival. Pediatric patients (42% 5-year survival) fared better than adults (19%). Local recurrence was 39%, with rare spinal metastases.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of tailored radiation therapy protocols based on patient age, tumor location, and histology.
    • Suggests potential for improved treatment strategies and survival rates through systematic and individualized radiotherapy approaches.
