Meningioma
MONDO:0016642A generally slow growing tumor attached to the dura mater. It is composed of neoplastic meningothelial (arachnoidal) cells. It typically occurs in adults, often women and it has a wide range of histopathological appearances. Of the various subtypes, meningothelial, fibrous and transitional meningiomas are the most common. Most meningiomas are WHO grade I tumors, and some are WHO grade II or III tumors. Most subtypes share a common clinical behavior, although some subtypes are more likely to recur and follow a more aggressive clinical course. (Adapted from WHO)
Also known as: meningioma, meningioma (disease), intracranial meningioma, meningeal neoplasm, meningothelial cell tumor, meningothelial cell tumour, primary meningeal tumor, primary meningeal tumour

Can an immune booster fight rare brain tumors?
Disease control Stopped earlyThis phase 2 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can shrink tumors or slow their growth in adults with rare central nervous system (brain or spine) tumors that have returned after prior treatment. Participants receive nivolumab by IV every 2 to 4 weeks for up to …

Experimental drug AR-42 tested on brain tumors – early results uncertain
Disease control Stopped earlyThis early-phase trial tested the drug AR-42 in 7 adults with vestibular schwannoma or meningioma brain tumors who were already scheduled for surgery. Participants took AR-42 pills for about 3 weeks before their operation. The main goal was to see if the drug could lower a protei…

Safer brain scans: no contrast needed for meningioma detection?
Diagnosis Stopped earlyThis study tested whether special MRI sequences (FABIR) can spot meningiomas without using gadolinium contrast dye, which can build up in the body after many injections. Researchers compared the new method to standard contrast MRI in 315 adults undergoing screening or follow-up f…
