Meningiomas, the most common brain tumors, can cause seizures and neurological issues. Surgery is the main treatment, but radiation therapy is increasingly used for complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Meningiomas are the most common primary tumors of the meninges.
  • Tumor growth can lead to seizures and neurological deficits due to neural compression.
  • While surgery is primary, radiotherapy is gaining traction for specific meningioma cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the biology, diagnosis, and treatment of meningiomas.
  • To provide an overview of the current evidence for therapeutic approaches.
  • To address controversies in meningioma management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of meningioma biology, diagnosis, and treatment.
  • Analysis of current evidence for surgical and radiological interventions.
  • Discussion of management controversies and future directions.

Main Results:

  • Meningiomas are the most common meningeal tumors.
  • Surgery is the principal treatment, with radiotherapy used for specific indications.
  • Most meningiomas have a good prognosis, but management challenges persist.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive understanding of meningioma biology is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Multimodal treatment strategies, including surgery and radiotherapy, are essential.
  • Further research is needed to resolve management controversies and optimize patient outcomes.
