Atypical meningioma grade 2 may recur within 3 to 5 years, while some patients may not recur.
Atypical meningioma grade 2 is between benign meningioma and malignant meningioma, the tumor cell growth is more active, and the tumor is connected with the surrounding brain tissues, the boundary is not clear, and some of them show infiltrative growth, so it may not be possible to completely remove the tumor during the surgery, so the probability of recurrence is higher, and it may recur in 3-5 years in general. If the tumor can be completely resected, some patients may not have recurrence.
Whether and how often an atypical grade 2 meningioma recurs is also related to whether or not the tumor receives radiation therapy after surgery. Radiation therapy after surgery can destroy the meningioma cells as much as possible and reduce the risk of meningioma recurrence.
Patients with atypical meningioma grade 2 need to undergo regular review to avoid meningioma recurrence. Normally, they should pay attention to maintain sufficient sleep and rest, have a scientific and reasonable diet structure, and take appropriate exercise. If any discomfort occurs, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
