Treatment for childhood infratentorial ependymoma is usually surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, followed by radiation therapy. For children younger than 3 years of age, chemotherapy may be given to delay, modify, or eliminate the use of radiation therapy.

Check for clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with childhood infratentorial ependymoma.
