Meningiomas are common central nervous system tumors that originate from the meningeal
coverings of the brain and the spinal cord. Most meningiomas are slowly growing benign …

Over the past 5 to 10 years, important advances were made in the understanding of
meningioma biology. Progress in molecular genetics probably represents the most important …

Accounting for over a third of all primary CNS neoplasms, meningiomas are amongst the
most common diagnoses encountered in neurosurgical practice. Like their non-neoplastic …

Background: The risk of developing nervous system tumors following exposure to ionizing
radiation is not well quantified. We characterized the incidence of nervous system tumors …

Object. Ionizing radiation is the only established risk factor recognized today in the causation
of meningioma. The aim of the present report is to describe the demographic and clinical …

Standard therapeutic options for brain tumors include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
Unfortunately, these same therapies pose risks of neurotoxicity, the most common long-term …

✓ The long-term or delayed side effects of irradiation on neural tissue are now known to
include the induction of new central nervous system neoplasms. However, during the first …

Object. Radiation-induced meningiomas are known to occur after high-and low-dose cranial
radiation therapy. The goal of this study was to discern the distinguishing findings and …

Objective Radiation-induced meningioma (RIM) is an uncommon late risk of cranial
irradiation. We conducted an exhaustive review of individual patient data to characterize …

Cranial radiotherapy improves survival of the most common childhood cancers, including
brain tumors and leukemia. Unfortunately, long-term survivors are faced with consequences …
