Several studies through the years have proven how an unhealthy nutrition, physical inactivity, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and smoking represent relevant risk factors in cancer genesis. This study aims to provide an overview about the relationship between meningiomas and food assumption in the Mediterranean diet and whether it can be useful in meningioma prevention or it, somehow, can prevent their recurrence. The authors performed a wide literature search in PubMed and Scopus databases investigating the presence of a correlation between Mediterranean diet and meningiomas. The following MeSH and free text terms were used: "Meningiomas" AND "Diet" and "Brain tumors" AND "diet." Databases' search yielded a total of 749 articles. After duplicate removal, an abstract screening according to the eligibility criteria has been performed and 40 articles were selected. Thirty-one articles were excluded because they do not meet the inclusion criteria. Finally, a total of 9 articles were included in this review. It is widely established the key and protective role that a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet can have against tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, studies focusing exclusively on the Mediterranean diet are still lacking. Thus, multicentric and/or prospective, randomized studies are mandatory to better assess and determine the impact of food assumptions in meningioma involvement.
多年来的多项研究证明，不健康的营养、缺乏身体活动、久坐的生活方式、肥胖和吸烟是癌症发生的相关危险因素。本研究旨在概述脑膜瘤与地中海饮食中食物摄入之间的关系，以及地中海饮食是否有助于预防脑膜瘤或预防其复发。作者在 PubMed 和 Scopus 数据库中进行了广泛的文献检索，以调查地中海饮食与脑膜瘤之间是否存在相关性。使用了以下 MeSH 和自由文本术语：“脑膜瘤”和“饮食”和“脑肿瘤”和“饮食”。数据库搜索共产生了 749 篇文章。去除重复项后，根据入选标准进行了摘要筛选，共选择了 40 篇文章。由于不符合纳入标准，31 篇文章被排除。最后，共有 9 篇文章被纳入本综述。健康的生活方式和均衡的饮食对肿瘤发生具有关键和保护作用，这一点已得到广泛认可。然而，专门针对地中海饮食的研究仍然缺乏。因此，需要进行多中心和/或前瞻性、随机研究，以更好地评估和确定食物摄入对脑膜瘤的影响。
