Recurrences of Meningiomas

This book offers an in-depth exploration of the pathologic, diagnostic, and surgical challenges associated with meningioma recurrence. As a vital companion to the volume "Meningiomas: From Pathology to Clinics," this volume zeroes in on the complexities that arise after initial diagnosis, providing a comprehensive guide for understanding and managing recurrent meningiomas. The text is meticulously organized into five parts, each addressing critical aspects of recurrence. Part I delves into histopathologic and biomolecular factors that heighten recurrence risk, while Part II focuses on advanced imaging techniques, including MRI and radiomics, for predicting and diagnosing regrowth. Part III examines treatment strategies at initial diagnosis and their impact on recurrence, offering insights into surgical resection, radiosurgery, and radiotherapy. Part IV provides a detailed analysis of surgical approaches tailored to specific relapse locations, discussing topography, techniques, and potential complications. Finally, Part V explores adjuvant therapies, emphasizing patient outcomes and the risk of further recurrence.
