Purpose: Meningiomas classified as grade 2-3 according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) require combined surgery and in most cases radiotherapy (RT). Their initial management was evaluated using the Dutch Brain Tumour Registry.
Methods: The study included 393 patients aged ≥ 18 years with newly diagnosed meningioma WHO grade 2-3 between 2016 and 2021.
Article Synopsis
- Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumors, and this study aimed to analyze their incidence, prevalence, and prognosis in the Netherlands from 2000 to 2019.
- Researchers used data from the Dutch Brain Tumour Registry and found that the incidence of meningioma diagnoses significantly increased over time, particularly for radiological cases.
- The study reported a prevalence of 1012 per 1,000,000 people as of January 2020, with high 10-year survival rates for grade 1 tumors (91.0%) but lower rates for higher-grade tumors.
