Generally, benign meningiomas cannot be controlled by drugs, and surgery is the first choice for removal.
At present, there is no drug that can inhibit the growth of meningioma. Benign meningioma grows slowly, so if the size is small and the patient has no discomfort, close observation and regular checkups can be done first.
If the size of benign meningioma increases gradually, resulting in headache, dizziness and other symptoms, the patient can follow the doctor’s advice to take surgical treatment, and the vast majority of patients with meningioma can be cured by surgical resection alone. In addition, radiation therapy can also be adopted for meningiomas at the base of the skull that cannot tolerate surgery or are located in important functional areas.
It is recommended that patients who find meningiomas should seek medical treatment in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to treat them actively, and should not use drugs privately to avoid delaying the condition.
