Prognosis
- Depending on the histological grade of the meningioma at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.[1]
- The table below lists common prognostic factors for meningioma:[2]
| Prognostic Factor | Description |
| Age | Older patients are associated with a worse prognosis.[2] |
| Anatomical location | Deep tumor location is associated with difficult surgical resection.[2] |
| Labeling index using MIB-1 test | A greater index is associated with a worse prognosis.[2] |
| Histological grade | A grade 3 anaplastic meningioma is associated with the worst prognosis.[2] |
| Functional neurological status | Low score on the Karnofsky Performance Scale is associated with a worse prognosis.[2] |
