Ependymoma

Aimee Garrison was 26 weeks pregnant when the pain became overwhelming. She had trouble sleeping and keeping up with her toddler. An MRI revealed a rare spinal cord ependymoma, which affects less than 2,000 adults each year. A tumor the size of a baby carrot had been slowly growing in Aimee’s spinal cord, pushing it against her vertebrae.

There are multiple treatment paths for patients with ependymoma. The CERN Foundation has created an international clinical trials network that includes several clinical centers of excellence in both pediatric and adult ependymomas in the United States. Currently, the CERN Foundation is developing clinical trials designed for ependymoma patients. Patients that meet eligibility requirements must join the trial at a CERN Center. We are pleased to have two open trials, one for adults with ependymoma and one for children with ependymoma, and expect to open additional trials in the future. Learn more about ependymoma and the CERN Foundation at www.cern-foundation.org. You can join our e-newsletter list to receive updates on ependymoma and join the message boards.
