Résumé

Anaplastic ependymoma is a rare cancer of the central nervous system. The treatment includes optimal resection with focal radiotherapy. Some case reports or retrospective studies have suggested efficacy of regimens containing platinum or bevacizumab. We describe the feasibility and clinical benefit of the cisplatin-bevacizumab-cyclophosphamide treatment of anaplastic ependymoma.
