The prognostic significance of MIB-1, p53, and DNA flow cytometry in completely resected primary meningiomas

Abstract

MIB-1 LI is a useful adjunct to routine histologic evaluation of meningiomas and appears to be of greatest value in the evaluation of tumors exhibiting borderline atypia. In contrast, our data suggest that, regarding patients with primary GTR meningiomas, neither flow cytometry nor p53 immunohistochemistry provides useful prognostic information.
