Total excision and radiotherapy are effective treatments for benign meningiomas. These options provide good outcomes for patients, especially those with significant symptoms or optic nerve involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Benign meningiomas are primary tumors of the central nervous system.
  • Treatment decisions depend on tumor characteristics and patient symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline appropriate treatment strategies for benign meningiomas.
  • To guide clinical decision-making for optimal patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established treatment guidelines and clinical evidence.
  • Analysis of surgical and radiotherapy approaches for meningiomas.

Main Results:

  • Total excision is suitable for resectable tumors with minimal morbidity, particularly for symptomatic mass effect.

  • Fractionated conformal radiotherapy is a primary option for all benign meningiomas, especially optic nerve sheath meningiomas.
  • Subtotal resection followed by radiosurgery or radiotherapy is appropriate for residual tumors to ensure survival rates.

    • Conclusions:

    • Both surgical resection and radiotherapy are viable treatment options for benign meningiomas.
    • Treatment selection should be individualized based on tumor resectability, location, and patient-specific factors.
