Intracranial ependymoma: A retrospective analysis of clinical features, treatment modalities, and long‐term outcome
Complete tumor resection and postoperative radiotherapy are crucial for improved outcomes in ependymomas. Higher preoperative KPSS scores and tumor location significantly impact prognosis. Tumors in the lateral ventricles are associated with higher recurrence risks. These findings highlight the need for aggressive surgical management and personalized adjuvant therapy to enhance patient outcomes.
