As you can see in many places, meningioma is a difficult disease to cure, especially when it comes back again and again bringing damage not only to the patient’s body, but also to the family and home. So can meningioma be cured or not, so that patients can return to a healthy life? Meningioma is a benign intracranial tumor that is very common in our clinic and is potentially curable. The greatest advantage of these tumors is that they tend to develop expansively, grow slowly, have clear borders around the tumor, and have better treatment effects than malignant tumors. The following modalities are mostly used in the treatment of meningioma. Surgery At present, the most common and frequently used method to treat meningioma internationally is surgical resection. The treatment plan will be based on the tumor growth and physical condition of the patient before surgery. In many cases, the tumor is already large enough to compress the surrounding nerve tissues and has tight adhesions, so in order to avoid damage to the brain tissues and bring more harm to the patient, partial resection is often chosen. If total resection is not possible during surgery, patients should be given necessary adjuvant treatment after surgery to prevent tumor recurrence. Stereotactic radiosurgery Stereotactic radiosurgery includes gamma knife, x-ray knife and particle knife. It is suitable for postoperative tumor residual or recurrence, skull base and cavernous sinus tumor, with the maximum tumor diameter ≤3cm. The tumor control rate is 89% at 4 years after gamma knife treatment. This method is safe and without the risk of surgery is its advantage, but the long-term efficacy remains to be observed. Embolization therapy includes physical embolization and chemical embolization, the former blocking the tumor blood supply artery and promoting thrombosis, while the latter acting on the endothelial cells of the blood vessel wall to induce thrombosis, thus achieving the purpose of reducing the blood supply of meningioma. Both methods are used as preoperative adjuvant therapy, and are limited to meningiomas in which the external carotid artery is the main blood supply. Radiation therapy Radiation therapy can be used as preoperative adjuvant therapy for meningioma with rich blood supply, which is suitable for: (1) the tumor’s blood supply artery branches are not radial, but there are many small spiral or rough irregular branches formed in the tumor; (2) the tumor is mainly supplied by cerebral parenchymal artery; (3) the tumor has local bone destruction without bone hyperplasia. The preoperative radiation dose is generally 40Gy for 1 course, and the surgery can be performed after the effect of irradiation on the scalp subsides; ④ adjuvant treatment for malignant meningioma and atypical meningioma after surgery can delay the recurrence. Through the above treatment methods, we can also see that meningioma treatment mainly focuses on controlling tumor growth, preventing its recurrence, and improving patients’ life treatment as the main goal. In meningioma treatment, many patients can hardly achieve complete resection because of the tight adhesion between the tumor and the surrounding brain tissue, and the residual part is easy to recur, but if the adjuvant treatment is done well after surgery to curb the tumor growth, many patients will not have tumor recurrence for more than ten years or even decades, and their life is normal and their health is not affected in any way. Of course, if meningioma can achieve the ideal surgical effect of total excision, it can be completely cured. For the treatment of meningioma we must keep a right attitude, choose a regular treatment hospital and receive timely treatment.
