Evolving Treatment Paradigms of Meningiomas; a Precision Medicine Perspective
摘要
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the multidisciplinary management strategies available for intracranial meningiomas, with a focus on novel therapies.
Recent findingsWith the 2021 WHO classification of tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS) came the introduction of molecular alterations impacting meningioma grading. As with other central nervous system tumors, the medical management of meningiomas is moving in the direction of targeted therapies. However, meningiomas display significant heterogeneity in their natural history and management options for advanced or recurrent tumor types are lacking.
SummaryMeningioma management has advanced with refined surgical techniques, radiotherapy strategies, and emerging systemic therapies. Maximal safe resection remains the mainstay of treatment; however, several clinical challenges and unanswered questions persist. Ongoing investigations into targeted therapies and immunotherapies offer promising avenues, particularly for high-grade and recurrent cases.
