Abstract

Ependymomas have a variable prognosis. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Pajtler and colleagues identify nine subgroups of ependymoma using DNA methylation profiles. Two subgroups, predominately pediatric, are responsible for most of the mortality, with all others having nearly 100% overall survival after 5 years.
