Advanced technology and innovation.
Surgery is the primary treatment for ependymoma. Treatment options may also include radiation therapy—including proton beam, radiotherapy, chemotherapy—or clinical trials.
Mayo Clinic uses 7-Tesla MRI. This imaging system uses a stronger magnetic field to produce more detailed images of the body's interior. Detailed brain scans help Mayo Clinic care teams diagnose and treat patients with brain tumors. This advanced imaging technology is key to ensuring patients receive an accurate diagnosis to guide treatment.
Mayo Clinic neurosurgeons have pioneered surgical techniques to help treat ependymoma. And with our state-of-the-art research and laboratory facilities, Mayo Clinic experts are constantly seeking new medical knowledge and innovations to help children and adults with ependymoma.
