Ependymoma is the third commonest childhood brain tumour. Relapse is frequent, often fatal and current therapeutic strategies are inadequate. Previous ependymoma research describes an immunosuppressive environment with T-cell exhaustion, indicating a... Read More about Epen-23.

We have previously shown immune gene phenotype variations between posterior fossa ependymoma subgroups. PFA1 tumors chronically secrete IL-6, which pushes the infiltrating myeloid cells to an immune suppressive function. In contrast, PFA2 tumors have... Read More about Epen-22.

A retrospective analysis of recurrent pediatric ependymoma reveals extremely poor survival and ineffectiveness of current treatments across central nervous system locations and molecular subgroups (2020)
Journal Article
Ritzmann, T. A., Rogers, H. A., Paine, S. M., Storer, L. C., Jacques, T. S., Chapman, R. J., …Grundy, R. G. (2020). A retrospective analysis of recurrent pediatric ependymoma reveals extremely poor survival and ineffectiveness of current treatments across central nervous system locations and molecular subgroups. Pediatric Blood and Cancer, 67(9), Article e28426. https://doi.org/10.1002/pbc.28426

Background: Relapse occurs in 50% of pediatric ependymoma cases and has poor prognosis. Few studies have investigated the clinical progress of relapsed disease, and treatment lacks a standardized approach. Methods and materials: We analyzed 302 pedia...
