Long-Term Clinical Outcome of First Recurrence Skull Base Meningiomas

Abstract: Skull base meningiomas (SBMs) are considered to be less aggressive and have a slower growth rate than non-SBMs. However, SBMs often develop local recurrences after surgical resection. Gross total removal is difficult because SBMs are deep-seated tumors and involve critical neurovascular structures. The treatment strategy for recurrent SBMs remains controversial. The present study aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical course and prognostic factors associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) of re… Show more

“…Postoperative MRI was performed every 6-12 months. Tumor recurrence was defined as follows: 1) for patients with GTR, the appearance of new lesions at the prior surgical site and 2) for patients with STR, residual tumor growth (> 2 mm/ year) (19).…”

“…For example, Da Broi et al [ 28 ] showed that in subtotally resected WHO grade 1 SBMs, re-treatment rate may rise up to 16%, 27%, 34%, and 38% at 1, 3, 5, and 10-years follow-up, illustrating how frequently recurrences are encountered after surgery [ 28 ]. Besides, Kuranari et al [ 75 ] assessed the predictors of shorter PFS in SBMS after initial surgical management: the 2-, 5-, and 10-year PFS rates were 68%, 53%, and 23%, respectively. The authors showed that higher WHO grades, multiple lesions, and tumor size were associated with shorter PFS, while postoperative radiotherapy improved PFS in patients with WHO grade 2 lesions after initial subtotal resection.…”

“…12 In general, higher WHO grading has been associated with the poor prognosis of meningiomas. 19 World while, WHO grade III meningiomas show extremely aggressive behavior and high rates of recurrence. 20 In our study, in accordance to the histological type, the microcystic meningiomas (WHO I) had a surveillance rate of 60 months (lowest) in contrast with transitional (WHO I) with 122 months (highest).…”
