OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare long-term prognosis after meningioma surgery in elderly and younger patients as well as to compare survival of elderly patients with surgically treated meningioma to survival rates for the general population.Brokinkel, BenjaminHolling, MarkusSpille, ...
It is sometimes used when there is remaining tumor tissue after surgical excision, or when the patient is elderly. Radiation therapy may be helpful if stereotactic radiosurgery is impossible, or if the meningioma recurs. Prognosis The large majority of meningiomas are asymptomatic and do not require...
After surgery, patients will require close monitoring and supportive care to manage potential complications. This may include pain management, rehabilitation, and ongoing neurological assessment. Outcomes The prognosis for patients with convexity meningioma is generally good, with high rates of tumor control...
Peritumoral edema and prognosis in intracranial meningioma surgery. J Clin Neurosci Peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) is often associated with meningiomas. PTBE is probably implicated in the complications occurring in intracranial meningiomas. The goal of this study was to determine the exact implic...

Of note, all SWI/SNF mutations were confined to the poor prognosis (C1) subgroup (Fig. 2c). C1 constituted a more diffuse group on PCA, distinguished from C2 mainly along the first principal component. We next retrospectively sought follow-up survival data from the time of first surgery, ...
The prognosis of this disease is different from that of regular meningiomas. Recurrence remains a possibility even after total tumor resection. We found that the surgical resection range and adjuvant treatment affected the recurrence period. This finding provides significant guidance for the treatment of...
They can be congenital or “acquired” after surgery, infection, or trauma. Prognosis and Therapy Wide excision with clear margins is required. In the case of skull base involvement, surgical approaches are complex and challenging (transpetrosal, subtemporal, transtentorial). Adjuvant radiation ...
Meningiomas, although mostly benign, may sometimes present aggressive features and raise issues concerning alternative treatment options besides surgery. In order to gain new insights in meningioma biology and develop alternative treatments, several meningioma mouse models have been engineered during the past...
Prognosis is generally poor, with high rates of relapse following multimodality therapy in early disease, low response rates to cytotoxic chemotherapy in advanced disease, and propensity for rapid disease progression and high mortality. The last few years have seen an explosion in data surrounding the...
