Radiation-induced meningiomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 927 meningiomas
High- and low-dose cranial radiation therapy can differentially influence the latency and grade of RIM, with higher dose CRT associated with earlier onset and more atypical tumors RIM screening may be warranted in individuals with an early exposure to cranial radiation given the increased risk of developing secondary neoplasms. These findings support structured long-term magnetic resonance imaging surveillance for survivors of childhood cranial irradiation, with risk adapted follow-up protocols to enable earlier detection and management.
