Meningiomas are the second most common primary tumor of the brain. Gross-total resection remains the preferred treatment if achievable with minimal morbidity. For incompletely resected or inoperable benign meningiomas, 3D conformal external-beam radiation therapy can provide durable local tumor control in...

However, low-grade gliomas in children mimic other benign brain tumors such as pituitary adenomas and meningiomas in that, although growth is frequently arrested after radiotherapy, residual tumor can persist for many years, illustrating that tumor shrinkage may not be a good measure of treatment ...
