Simple Tumor Localization Scale for Estimating Management Outcome of Intracranial Meningioma

Abstract

Intracranial meningiomas are typically benign extracerebral tumors derived from dural arachnoid cells. Predominantly, these tumors are effectively managed surgically, but the prognosis is heavily dependent on a tumor's histologic heterogeneity and its location. It is known that reproductive and hormonal factors increase the risk for meningioma in adult females, but their prognostic value still remains controversial. This study's aim was to examine possible correlation between tumor location and outcome, as well as to evaluate the prognostic value of the proposed simple tumor localization scale in predicting the management outcome of intracranial meningioma. In a retrospective, cross-section survey, a single-institution cohort of 243 patients operated on due to intracranial meningioma was analyzed. The investigated parameters were age and gender, tumor location, and extent of surgery (Simpson grading). The patients were divided into 2 groups allocating tumors to central and peripheral position within the cranial vault. The outcome was estimated by Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) at discharge from hospital and Glasgow Outcome Scale at 1 year after surgery. A statistically significant correlation between tumor location and outco...Continue Reading

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.

Cavernous Hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is a blood vessel defect or benign tumor that leads to leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues. This can occur in several organs including the brain, which can lead to seizures. Discover the latest research on cavernous hemangiomas here.
