Epidemiological characteristics of myxopapillary ependymoma and factors affecting overall survival: a SEER-based analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is a rare tumor. Most studies have discussed the clinical symptoms and treatment of individual cases, but limited data are provided on overall survival and its influencing factors. Consequently, we aimed to further explore the epidemiological features of MPE and factors influencing overall survival.

Methods

The cohort study extracted information about all patients diagnosed with intracranial MPE from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 2004-2015. Epidemiological characteristics and prognostic factors after adjustment for different variables were analyzed. Outcomes were 5- and 10-year overall survival. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the Cox proportional hazards model, with hazard ratios (H
