Overview
Surgery is the main stay of treatment for myxopapillary ependymoma (WHO grade 1), subependymoma (WHO grade 1), ependymoma (WHO grade I), and anaplastic ependymoma (WHO grade III).
Surgery
- Anecdotal experience suggests that surgery alone for completely resected supratentorial nonanaplastic tumors and intradural spinal cord ependymomas may be an appropriate approach to treatment for:[1]
- Newly diagnosed myxopapillary ependymoma (WHO grade 1)
- Newly diagnosed subependymoma (WHO grade 1)
- Newly diagnosed ependymoma (WHO grade I)
- Newly diagnosed anaplastic ependymoma (WHO grade III)
- Complete surgical removal is often curative. Some subependymomas are considered incidental findings and observed without intervention.
- Extensive surgical resection for anaplastic ependymoma (WHO grade III) in attempt to maximal tumor reduction is related to improved survival rate.[2][3]
