The medical and functional burden of surviving childhood ependymoma: A population‐based study in Ontario, Canada
Pediatric ependymoma survivors are highly vulnerable to severe late sequelae, including death, stroke, severe hearing loss, and disability. Urgent efforts are needed to improve risk-stratification approaches that mitigate exposure to toxic therapies for children with lower risk disease. Interventions to prevent or decrease the risk of developing late sequelae are critical to optimizing survivor long-term health.
