Radiation after surgery for atypical meningioma
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving radiation therapy after surgery helps prevent atypical meningioma from coming back. It is for people who had the tumor completely removed and are between 18 and 70 years old.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at people who had surgery for more aggressive meningiomas (grade 2 or 3) and tries to learn what factors relate to survival. The results may help doctors better predict outcomes for future patients.
This trial tests whether a higher dose of proton therapy, a precise type of radiation, can better control a rare and more aggressive form of meningioma brain tumor. It aims to improve outcomes for patients who have had surgery and need radiation.
This study looks at whether adding radiation therapy right after surgery is better than waiting and watching for certain meningiomas. It also checks if just watching is safe for people with lower-risk tumors.
This study tests a type of focused radiation therapy (called stereotactic radiosurgery) given after surgery for certain meningiomas. The goal is to see if this treatment helps prevent the tumor from coming back, and to check its safety.
This study compares different radiation methods for treating a slow-growing, non-cancerous brain tumor at the base of the skull. It aims to see which approach best protects memory and thinking abilities.
This trial uses a special PET scan to find active tumor areas and then delivers a stronger dose of radiation to those spots. It is for people with aggressive or returning meningiomas who have not had brain radiation before.
