Evaluation of dose, volume, and outcome in children with localized, intracranial ependymoma treated with proton therapy within the prospective KiProReg Study.

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) of ependymoma in children is an important part of the interdisciplinary treatment concept. However, feasibility and dose concepts are still under investigation, particularly in very young children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the standard dose and volume of proton therapy (PT) in children with ependymoma.
