QOLP-14. PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION OF CONFIRMED GLIOMA RISK FACTORS AMONG EPENDYMOMA PATIENTS IN THE NEURO-ONCOLOGY BRANCH NATURAL HISTORY STUDY (NOB-NHS) AND RISK AND OUTCOMES STUDY (ROS)

摘要

BACKGROUNDThe Glioma International Case-Control (GICC) study is the largest study to date examining genetic and environmental risk factors for adult gliomas. Inverse associations have been repeatedly confirmed for allergies, atopic skin diseases, and viral infections. Evaluations of these risk factors specifically ependymoma has not been completed, due to the rarity compared to other glioma types. Therefore, the purpose of this report is evaluating the associations of these confirmed glioma risk factors with ependymomas.
