Radiomics approach for prediction of recurrence in skull base meningiomas

Surgical Resectability of Skull Base Meningiomas

With recent advances in surgical technology such as preoperative imaging, neuro-monitoring, and surgical instruments, the surgical resectability of intracranial meningiomas has increased over the last two decades. This study reviewed clinical articles regarding the surgical treatment of meningiomas to clarify the role of surgical excision, with a focus on skull base meningiomas. We sub-classifi...

Recurrence of Skull Base Meningiomas: The Role of Aggressive Removal in Surgical Treatment.

Objectives The recurrence of meningiomas is a crucial aspect that must be considered during the planning of treatment strategy. The Simpson grade classification is the most relevant surgical aspect to predict the recurrence of meningiomas. We report on a series of patients with recurrent skull base meningiomas who were treated with the goal of radical removal. Design A retrospective study. Sett...

Advanced quantitative MRI radiomics features for recurrence prediction in glioblastoma multiform patients

Introduction: Advanced quantitative information such as radiomics features derived from magnetic resonance (MR) image may be useful for outcome prediction, prognostic models or response biomarkers in Glioblastoma (GBM). The main aim of this study was to evaluate MRI radiomics features for recurrence prediction in glioblastoma multiform.   Materials and Methods:</str...

Fractionated stereotactic conformal radiotherapy for large benign skull base meningiomas

PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficacy of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) for large skull base meningiomas. METHODS AND MATERIALS Fifty-two patients with large skull base meningiomas aged 34-74 years (median age 56 years) were treated with FSRT between June 2004 and August 2009. All patients received FSRT for residual or progressive meningiomas more than 4 centimeters in grea...
