Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor in adults and have been historically managed with surgery and radiation therapy. However, in patients with inoperable, recurrent or high-grade tumors, medical therapy is often needed. Traditional chemotherapy and hormone therapy have been largely ineffective. However, with improved understanding of the molecular drivers in meningioma, there has been increasing interest in targeted molecular and immune therapies. In this chapter, we will discuss recent advances in meningioma genetics and biology and review current clinical trials with targeted molecular treatment and other novel therapies.
脑膜瘤是成年人中最常见的原发性脑肿瘤,传统上采用手术和放射治疗进行治疗。然而,对于无法手术、复发性或高级别的肿瘤患者,通常需要药物治疗。传统的化疗和激素治疗效果不大。但是,随着对脑膜瘤分子驱动因素认识的提高,靶向分子和免疫治疗的兴趣日益增加。在本章中,我们将讨论脑膜瘤遗传学和生物学的最新进展,并回顾目前针对靶向分子治疗和其他新型疗法的临床试验。
