BACKGROUND. Ependymomas account for 2% of all intracranial tumors in adults. Supratentorial ependymomas are less common than their infratentorial counterparts. To the authors' knowledge to date, the predictive values of surgery, histology, and patient-related prognostic factors for these tumors remain unresolved. The authors report a series of adult patients with supratentorial ependymomas to characterize the roles of surgery and histology in tumor control.METHODS. The authors retrospectively studied a homogenous population of 46 adult patients who had supratentorial ependymomas from 24 French neurosurgical centers between 1990 and 2004. All clinicoradiologic and follow-up data were analyzed, and a central pathologic review was performed by 2 certified neuropathologists.RESULTS. The mean (+/-standard error) 5- and 10-year overall survival races for the entire population were 57.1%+/-8.7% and 41.8%+/-9.9%, respectively. The 5- and 10-year progression-free survival rates for the entire cohort were of 33.8%+/-8.1% and 25.4+/-8%, respectively On both univariate and multivariate analysis, age
