Sumario: | Meningiomas comprise a histologically and clinically diverse set of tumors arising from the meningothelial lining of the central nervous system. In the past decade, remarkable progress has been made in deciphering the biology of these common neoplasms. Nevertheless, effective systemic or molecular therapies for meningiomas remain elusive and are active areas of preclinical and clinical investigation. Thus, standard treatment modalities for meningiomas are limited to maximal safe resection, radiotherapy, or radiosurgery. This review examines the history, clinical rationale, and future directions of radiotherapy and radiosurgery as integral and effective treatments for meningiomas. |
