Successful therapy for ependymoma includes aggressive surgical intervention and radiation therapy administered using methods which minimize the risk of side effects. We extended this treatment approach to include children under the age of 3 years. Between July 1997 and 2007, 153 pediatric patients (median age 2·9 years, range 0·9–22·9 years) with localized ependymoma received conformal radiation therapy after definitive surgery. Doses of 59·4 (n=131) or 54·0 Gy (n=22) were prescribed to a 10mm clinical target volume margin surrounding the post-operative residual tumor and/or tumor bed. The patients had the following characteristics: anaplastic ependymoma (n=85), infratentorial location (n=122), prior chemotherapy (n=35) and extent of resection (gross-total=125, near-total=17, subtotal=11). Disease control, patterns of failure and complications were recorded for patients followed through 10 years. With a median follow-up of 5·3 years (range 0·4 to 10·4 years), death was recorded in 23 patients and tumor progression in 36, including local (n=14), distant (n=15) and combined failure (n=7). Tumor grade predicted overall (OS) and event-free (EFS) survival and distant failure. Extent of resection predicted OS, EFS and local failure. Race predicted OS. The 7 year local control, event-free and overall survival were 83·7% (95% CI: 73·9–93·5%), 69·1% (95% CI: 56·9–81·3%) and 81·0% (95% CI: 71·0–91·0%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of local and distance failure were 16·3% (95% CI: 9·6–23·0%) and 11·48% (95% CI: 5·9–17·1%), respectively. Considering only those patients treated with immediate post-operative CRT (without delay or chemotherapy) the 7 year OS, EFS and CI of local and distant failure were 85·0% (95% CI: 74·2–95·8%), 76·9% (95% CI: 63·4–90·4%), 12·59% (95% CI: 5·1–20·1%)and 8·56% (95% CI: 2·8–14·3%), respectively. The incidence of secondary malignant brain tumor at 7 years was 2·3% (95% CI: 0–5·6%) and brainstem necrosis 1·6% (95% CI: 0–4·0%). This study provides new disease control benchmarks and a unifying approach for the treatment of ependymoma that should include surgery with the aim of gross-total resection and conformal, high-dose, post-operative irradiation even for the youngest children. Future trials might consider treatment stratification based on gender and age as female patients are more likely to be long-term survivors and younger patients have higher rates of failure.
