  • The diagnosis of ependymoma has moved from a purely histopathological review with limited prognostic value to an integrated diagnosis, relying heavily on molecular information. However, as the integrated approach is still novel and some molecular ependymoma subtypes are quite rare, few studies have correlated integrated pathology and clinical outcome, often focusing on small series of single molecular types. We collected data from 2023 ependymomas as classified by DNA methylation profiling, consisting of 1736 previously published and 287 unpublished methylation profiles. Methylation data and clinical information were correlated, and an integrated model was developed to predict progression-free survival. Patients with EPN-PFA, EPN-ZFTA, and EPN-MYCN tumors showed the worst outcome with 10-year overall survival rates of 56%, 62%, and 32%, respectively. EPN-PFA harbored chromosome 1q gains and/or 6q losses as markers for worse survival. In supratentorial EPN-ZFTA, a combined loss of CDKN2A and B indicated worse survival, whereas a single loss did not. Twelve out of 200 EPN-ZFTA (6%) were located in the posterior fossa, and these tumors relapsed or progressed even earlier than supratentorial tumors with a combined loss of CDKN2A/B . Patients with MPE and PF-SE, generally regarded as non-aggressive tumors, only had a 10-year progression-free survival of 59% and 65%, respectively. For the prediction of the 5-year progression-free survival, Kaplan-Meier estimators based on the molecular subtype, a Support Vector Machine based on methylation, and an integrated model based on clinical factors, CNV data, and predicted methylation scores achieved balanced accuracies of 66%, 68%, and 73%, respectively. Excluding samples with low prediction scores resulted in balanced accuracies of over 80%. In sum, our large-scale analysis of ependymomas provides robust information about molecular features and their clinical meaning. Our data are particularly relevant for rare and hardly explored tumor subtypes and seemingly benign variants that display higher recurrence rates than previously believed.
