Meningioma: What's the treatment process?
The treatment process for meningioma, a type of tumour that arises from the meninges (the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord), depends on several factors such as the size, location, growth rate, and symptoms caused by the tumour. Meningiomas are usually benign (non-cancerous), but they can sometimes be malignant or cause significant symptoms due to their location. In this article, leading consultant neurosurgeon Mr Andrew Kay provides a detailed overview of the treatment process.
