Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Meningiomas have a significant recurrence rate, necessitating evaluation of surgical sole treatment.
  • Patient age and tumor location can preclude surgical candidacy, highlighting the need for alternative treatments.
  • Radiotherapy and radiosurgery are viable options when surgery is not feasible or carries high risks.
