Survival and failure patterns in atypical and anaplastic meningiomas: A single-center experience of surgery and postoperative radiotherapy

Abstract

High-grade meningiomas represent a rare and aggressive neoplasm. The mainstay of therapy is gross total resection (GTR) at the initial surgery. Postoperative adjuvant RT should be offered to all patients, regardless of the degree of resection achieved. Long-term follow-up is important as local recurrences and progression can develop years after the initial treatment.
