Abstract
- Meningiomas represent the most common type of benign tumor of the extra-axial compartment. Although most meningiomas are benign World Health Organization (WHO) grade 1 lesions, the increasingly prevalent of WHO grade 2 lesion and occasional grade 3 lesions show worsened recurrence rates and morbidity. Multiple medical treatments have been evaluated but show limited efficacy. We review the status of medical management in meningiomas, highlighting successes and failures of various treatment options. We also explore newer studies evaluating the use of immunotherapy in management.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
