Article Synopsis
- Meningiomas are classified into three grades based on their characteristics, but this grading does not always predict patient outcomes effectively.
- A study evaluated the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors, along with the proliferation marker Ki-67, across these grades to assess their correlation with tumor behavior.
- Results showed that while grade 1 tumors exhibited higher positivity for hormone receptors and lower proliferation rates, higher grades demonstrated significant increases in Ki-67 expression, indicating a relationship between tumor grade and growth potential.
- The findings suggest that Ki-67 is a valuable tool for predicting tumor behavior, while progesterone receptor status may indicate better prognosis in meningioma patients.
Introduction: Over the last fifty years there has been dramatic change in the human environment, behaviours and way-of-life. These changes have resulted in escalating rates of metabolic syndrome not only in general population but also among people with mental illness. Various factors, like the lack of exercise, use of psychotropic medications and inadequate medical care leads to the increased risk of metabolic changes among people with mental illness.
