Emerging Diagnostic and Therapeutic Options for Meningioma

Over the past five years, multiple advances in diagnostic imaging, molecular stratification, and neurosurgical and radiotherapeutic approaches have changed the multi-disciplinary management of meningioma, the most common intracranial tumor. This activity will increase learners' awareness of the optimal management of meningioma as well as help them provide better quality of care for their patients with more aggressive types of meningioma. Over the last several years there has been newer data on the use of novel PET imaging, molecular stratification and clinical trials in the space of WHO Grade II and Grade III meningiomas, along with clinical considerations of incorporating novel techniques of radiosurgery versus fractionated radiotherapy and technical considerations of incorporating novel techniques of radiosurgery, proton therapy and radiopharmaceutical therapy. This activity highlights these emerging trends with a diverse panel of multidisciplinary speakers.
