Scientists have completed the largest ever molecular-biological analysis of ependymoma, a dangerous brain tumor in children. They were able to define two distinct subgroups of ependymoma which differ both genetically and clinically. The researchers will now use these results to gain a better understanding of the causes of ependymoma and to develop more targeted treatment approaches.
