A systematic review and meta-analysis of outcomes in pediatric, recurrent ependymoma.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to determine outcomes in recurrent pediatric ependymoma. METHODS:We performed a systematic review of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library for studies reporting on survival outcomes for pediatric patients with recurrent ependymoma. We then performed a meta-analysis of all eligible results. Survival outcomes were identified across location of recurrence, therapy at recurrence, and age at recurrence. RESULTS:Eleven studies met final inclusion criteria. Pooled median progression free survival (PFS) from date of first recurrence was 6.7 months (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 4.7-8.8). Pooled median overall survival (OS) from date of first recurrence was 11.2 months (95% CI 6.4-16.0). Participants with supratentorial recurrences demonstrated a shorter OS of 8.3 months (95% CI 3.2-13.3) compared to 20.1 months (95% CI 8.4-31.7) for those with infratentorial recurrence. Patients who underwent surgery at recurrence had a median OS of 24.2 months (95% CI 14.2-34.1) compared to 29.2 months (95% CI 17.4-41.1) in those who received radiation compared to 19.3 months (95% CI 10.3-28.3) in those who received chemotherapy. Patients younger than age 3 years at time of recurrence demonstrated a median OS of 31.0 months (95% CI - 25.3-87.3) compared to 17.5 months (95% CI 9.9-25.2) for those that recurred beyond 3 years of age. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings illustrate that children with recurrent ependymoma suffer from poor outcomes; however, these outcomes range widely depending on patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics. New therapies and treatment strategies are needed to improve outcomes in this group.
