Can benign meningiomas be cured?

Benign meningiomas are clinically considered to be curable. Meningiomas are benign tumors, most of which grow slowly, and the prognosis mainly depends on the location of the tumor wound, pathological typing, and the extent of invasion. If the tumor location and pathologic typing are good, surgery can also completely remove the tumor, remove the invading dura mater and skull, the healing process is better, and a cure can be achieved. If one of the location and pathology is not good, or the invasion is more extensive, for example, the tumor grows into the sinus or grows into the cerebral sickle, it is difficult to remove the tumor by surgery, the surgical residue may recur, and postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy is necessary. Growing in the functional area or adhering to the large blood vessels or cranial nerves, it is also not possible to do a total resection, and even affects the function of the limbs, there may be limb paralysis, limb muscle weakness, epileptic seizures, i.e., lamb’s-flower seizures, as well as aphasia, vision loss, crooked mouth and eyes, and other serious complications. If the pathologic staging is parthenogenetic or malignant, and the cell proliferation is more active, the surgery should not be total excision, and it is easy to recur after the surgery. Benign tumor meningioma can be cured, unless the growth site is not good or the pathological typing is not good, and the incomplete postoperative total excision will lead to postoperative recurrence, and even have to be assisted by other postoperative treatments.
