New Classification Scheme for the Prognostic Stratification of Meningioma on the Basis of Chromosome 14 Abnormalities, Patient Age, and Tumor Histopathology

Abstract

In addition to age and histologic grade, abnormalities of chromosome 14 contribute to a better prognostic stratification of meningioma patients at diagnosis. Additional prospective studies in larger series of patients, also including larger numbers of patients who experienced relapse, are necessary to confirm the utility of the proposed predictive model.
