    Abstract:
    Forty-nine intracranial ependymoma patients were postoperatively irradiated with craniospinal, cranial, or wide local fields. Thirty-two patients received an adjuvant chemotherapy regimen of vincristine and CCNU with or without procarbazine. The 10-year actuarial overall and progression-free survival rates were 57% and 57%, respectively. Age was the only significant prognostic factor in favor of adults (p = 0.01).
