Meningiomas: A biochemical, genetic, and pharmacological review
Abstract
A meningioma is a tumor originating in the meninges that cover the brain and spinal cord. While grade I meningiomas are easily treated with surgery, grade II and III tumors are much more difficult. They are also challenging to research due to limited number of subjects. This paper aims to look at the biochemical and genetic implications of meningiomas, the surgical approach and technological advances, as well as pharmacology information from the past, present, and future.
