Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify biomarkers that could predict recurrence and progression of meningioma, which often has a poor prognosis due to high rates of recurrence.
- Analysis of 50 meningioma cases focused on the expression levels of FOXM1, MMP-9, and Ki67, revealing that strong expressions of FOXM1 and MMP-9, as well as high Ki67 levels, are significantly linked to tumor grade, peritumoral brain edema, and poor patient outcomes.
- Results indicated that tumors with elevated levels of these markers were associated with increased recurrence risk, shorter overall survival, and less favorable responses to therapy, highlighting their potential as indicators of aggressive meningiomas.
Round block technique (RBT) is an oncoplastic technique used in periareolar lesions, particularly in breasts with moderate ptosis or hypertrophy. However, it has some drawbacks including the possibility of late-onset scar widening, change in areolar shape, and asymmetry of the breasts. Moreover, it is hard to be performed with tumors located in periphery of breast.
