Overview
Bromodeoxyuridine labeling study may be helpful in the diagnosis of meningioma. An elevated bromodeoxyuridine labeling index is suggestive of both a rapid growth rate of meningioma and a greater incidence of recurrence following surgical resection.[1]
Bromodeoxyuridine Labeling Study
- An elevated bromodeoxyuridine labeling index of meningioma is associated with:[1]
- Rapid growth rate of the tumor
- Greater incidence of recurrence following surgical resection of the tumor
