Abstract:Ependymomas are rare brain tumors that can occur in both children and adults. Subdivided by the tumors’ initial location, ependymomas develop in the central nervous system in the supratentorial or infratentorial/posterior fossa region, or the spinal cord. Supratentorial ependymomas (ST-EPNs) are predominantly characterized by common driver gene fusions such as ZFTA and YAP1 fusions. Some variants of ST-EPNs carry a high overall survival rate. In poorly responding ST-EPN variants, high levels of inter- and intr… Show more
