Overview

Secondary prevention strategies following ependymoma include regular clinical assessment and neuroimaging.[1]

Secondary Prevention

  • Neuroimaging coupled with clinical assessment are generally recommended after treatment for ependymoma.[1]
  • MRI imaging of the brain and/or spinal cord every 3 months for the first 1 to 2 years after treatment.
  • After 2 years, imaging every 6 months for the next 3 years is often undertaken.
