Abstract
Reirradiation for relapsed pediatric ependymoma was well tolerated by most patients and resulted in long-term survival in a subset of patients. The best results were observed in patients who experienced distant-only failure after RT1 and were treated with CSI as part of RT2, without anaplasia at recurrence. The option of reirradiation should be discussed with patients who develop recurrent ependymoma.
