Following SRS, local failure (LF) was defined as failure within or adjacent to the SRS target volume, while distant failure (DF) was defined as failure outside of the SRS target volume. Time to LF and DF was analyzed using competing risk analysis with death as a competing risk.<i></i>Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the date of first SRS to the date of death or censored at the date of last follow-up using the Kaplan-Meier method. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Twenty-one patients underwent SRS to 40 intracranial (<i>n</i> = 30) or spinal (<i>n</i> = 10) ependymoma lesions between 2007 and 2018, most commonly with 18 or 20 Gy in 1 fraction. Median follow-up for all patients after first SRS treatment was 54 months (range 2–157). The 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year rates of survival among patients with initial intracranial ependymoma were 86, 74, and 52%, respectively. The 2-year cumulative incidences of LF and DF after SRS among intracranial ependymoma patients were 25% (95% CI 11–43) and 42% (95% CI 22–60), respectively. No spinal ependymoma patient experienced LF, DF, or death within 2 years of SRS. Three patients had adverse radiation effects. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> SRS is a viable treatment option for intracranial and spinal ependymoma with excellent local control and acceptable toxicity. 2019-10-07 10:54:02 Ependymoma Stereotactic radiosurgery CyberKnife
