- Abstract
The article presents a study which assesses the outcome of surgery and histology on 46 patients with supratentorial ependymomas. The study reveals that overall and progression-free survival were associated with lower histologic grade. It concludes that histologic grade is the major factor prognostic factor of the disease, and the role of low-grade ependymomas needs further investigation.
