Meningiomas in Premenopausal Women: Role of the Hormone Related Conditions

Abstract: BackgroundSeveral epidemiological and pathological findings suggest that the female sex hormones may influence the development of meningiomas. However, the role of pregnancy, oral contraceptives, and fertilization therapies is still controversial.MethodsFrom the surgical series of 354 patients with meningiomas operated between 2006 and 2019, the group of 72 premenopausal women was separately considered. The tumor location, WHO grade, Ki67-labeling index (LI), progesterone receptor (PR) expression, and histolog… Show more

“…Furthermore, given that the female-to-male incidence rate ratios were the highest in those aged 35-54 years old, it is important to carefully examine meningioma incidence and survival in middle-aged females. Over the past two decades, researchers have been investigating the sex hormone dependence of meningiomas ( 18 ). The accelerated growth rate during pregnancy and the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, as well as the greater occurrence in females, point to the possibility that sex hormones may play a role in the development of meningiomas ( 19 ).…”

“…In contrast, the occurrence of meningiomas in women cannot be explained by variations in sex hormone receptors, according to Korhonen et al., who reported no difference in sex hormone receptor expression between sex and age groups ( 25 ). Progesterone and antiprogesterone have been reported to control meningioma growth in vitro ; however, the moderate effects of anti-progesterone on patient outcomes point to a more nuanced interaction between sex hormones and meningioma growth ( 18 ). Therefore, the mechanism of sex discrimination in meningiomas remains controversial ( 26 , 27 ).…”

“…This is due to the presence of progesterone and estrogen receptors in meningioma tissue, the possible association of the tumor with the female system, biological changes in meningioma during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, regression occasionally reported after delivery, in vitro proliferation of meningioma cell lines in culture after exposure to estrogen and progesterone. In addition, the incidence and risk of meningioma in patients with sex hormone-associated conditions and during the use of exogenous sex hormones for contraceptive therapy have been investigated in several studies 9 .…”

“…Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Francesco Maiuri dkk pada tahun 2020 menunjukkan bahwa kasus meningioma lebih sering terjadi pada wanita pasca-menopause dibanding wanita pramenopause dengan perbandingan 3 : 1. 10 Adapun penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Cooper DB pada tahun 2021 di Amerika Serikat menunjukaan bahwa terdapat 25% wanita dengan rentang usia 15-44 tahun yang sedang menjalankan pengobatan hormonal. Korelasi antara usia dengan riwayat pengobatan akan dijelaskan dalam tabel berikutnya.…”
