Treatment failure in children with ependymoma is relatively common, with the majority of events consisting of local failure. Salvage therapy for these children historically had poor results, with repeated local recurrences. To improve these outcomes, we began to offer hypofractionated re-irradiation after resection at first local recurrence. To minimize the duration of therapy, we chose a hypofractionated regimen that has been shown to be well tolerated in adult patients.
