AI Article Synopsis
- Meningiomas are common primary brain tumors typically treated with surgery, and their recurrence rates post-surgery have been well-researched.
- The primary predictors of recurrence are the WHO grade (related to tumor development characteristics) and the Simpson grade (linked to how much of the tumor was removed during surgery).
- This review article explores additional risk factors, beyond histological and surgical grades, that may contribute to the recurrence of meningiomas after they have been surgically removed.
Article Abstract
Meningiomas are one of the commonest primary brain tumours, treated primarily with surgery. These are extraaxial tumours and their post-operative recurrence rates have been extensively studied. The most established predictor of meningioma recurrence is the WHO grade (based on histological features) and the Simpson grade, based on the extent of resection. In this review article, we look into the risk factors other than histological grade and Simpson grade that have been associated with recurrence of meningioma after resection.
