Abstract
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for the management of small and medium-sized intracranial meningiomas is well defined. However, limited studies evaluating long-term outcomes following SRS for large-volume meningiomas (LVMs) exist. Here, we report a large single-institution experience in using upfront single-session SRS to manage LVMs.
Methods: This retrospective review included 112 patients (83 female, 74%) managed with single-session SRS for LVMs (> 10 cc) between 1987 and 2022. Exclusion criteria consisted of prior meningioma surgical resection or follow-up < 2 years. Tumors were classified as supratentorial (35%) or skull-base (65%). The median tumor volume was 13 cc (range: 10-24.7), and the median margin dose was 12 Gy (range: 10-15). Overall, 101 (90%) patients were neurologically symptomatic at SRS.
Results: The median follow-up was 106 months (range: 24-307). Sixteen (14%) LVMs demonstrated tumor progression at a median time of 43 months (range: 7-181) following SRS. Local tumor control (LTC) rates at 3-years, 5-years, and 10-years were 98% (95%CI: 91-99), 97% (95% CI: 94-100) and 88% (95% CI: 80-96), respectively. Tumor volume > 17 cc (HR: 3.26, 95% CI: 1.17-9.08, p = 0.023) was significantly associated with worsened LTC. Seven (6%) patients developed peritumoral edema adverse radiation effects (AREs) at a median time of 35 months (range: 4-182) following SRS. Meningiomas located in supratentorial regions (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.01-1.22, p = 0.031), as compared to skull base tumors, had a significantly greater risk of peritumoral edema ARE development.
Conclusions: In this select patient cohort, upfront single-session SRS provides durable long-term LTC and minimizes ARE risk for patients with LVMs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuro-Oncology is a multi-disciplinary journal encompassing basic, applied, and clinical investigations in all research areas as they relate to cancer and the central nervous system. It provides a single forum for communication among neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists, neuropathologists, neurodiagnosticians, and laboratory-based oncologists conducting relevant research. The Journal of Neuro-Oncology does not seek to isolate the field, but rather to focus the efforts of many disciplines in one publication through a format which pulls together these diverse interests. More than any other field of oncology, cancer of the central nervous system requires multi-disciplinary approaches. To alleviate having to scan dozens of journals of cell biology, pathology, laboratory and clinical endeavours, JNO is a periodical in which current, high-quality, relevant research in all aspects of neuro-oncology may be found.
