2 Incidence patterns for ependymoma: a Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results study
J Neurosurg. 2008 Dec 5. [Epub ahead of print]
Ependymoma occurs within the CNS at distinct locations at different ages, consistent with hypotheses postulating distinct populations of radial glial stem cells within the CNS. Ependymoma incidence appears to have increased over the past 3 decades, but only in adults.
