Elucidating Heterogeneity of Resistance Across Molecular Subgroups of Pediatric Ependymomas to Inform Future Therapeutics…

Despite improvements in overall outcomes in pediatric cancers over the past twenty years, the outcomes in children with intracranial ependymomas, the 3rd most common brain tumor in children, remain abysmal with a 5-year survival of 50-64% and a progression-free survival estimate of 23-45%.Advances i

Ependymoma…

Ependymomas arise from ependymal cells that line the ventricles and passageways in the brain and the center of the spinal cord. Ependymal cells produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). These tumors are classified as supratentorial or infratentorial. In children, most ependymomas are infratentorial tumors
