Timing of adjuvant radiotherapy impacts overall survival for atypical intracranial meningiomas: a National Cancer Database (NCDB) analysis

Key Points

• Overall survival is significantly affected by the timing of adjuvant radiotherapy in atypical meningiomas, suggesting a critical treatment window.
• Data from the National Cancer Database indicates that patients receiving radiotherapy within a specified timeframe demonstrate better outcomes.
• This analysis reviews treatment efficacy and survival rates in patients with atypical meningiomas, focusing on intervention timing.
• These findings highlight the need for refined treatment protocols tailored to individual patient circumstances, particularly timing.
