Abstract :
Myxopapillary ependymomas are the most common primary tumours of the spinal cord, recurrence-free survival depends on local control of the tumour. The value of additional radiotherapy is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to analyze radiotherapy, surgery and the preoperative state with regards to recurrence rate and postoperative neurological outcome.
