Abstract

This article focuses on the role of radiotherapy in the management of meningioma, in the definitive and adjuvant setting and across the spectrum of meningioma grade. Treatment paradigms, informed by clinical evidence, are discussed. Notably, we focus on the impact of radiotherapy on normal brain tissues and neurocognitive function, particularly the dose-dependent changes in white matter and cerebral cortex thickness. Novel imaging techniques have allowed the identification of microstructural changes to eloquent white matter, cortex, and subcortical regions as biomarkers for understanding RT-induced changes in cognitive functioning. Deficits in multiple domains including attention, memory, language and executive function can become more pronounced following radiation. Longitudinal assessment with imaging and neurocognitive testing pre- and post-radiation have allowed correlation between dose to specific regions of the brain and decline in associated domains of neurocognitive function. These findings suggest incorporation of areas at higher risk for neurocognitive sequelae into precision radiation planning. Volumetric arc therapy, advanced planning with cortical sparing, proton therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery are reviewed as options for delivering therapeutic dose to target volumes while minimizing risk to adjacent sensitive regions. The treatment of meningioma is an evolving area, with improving outcomes for higher grade disease in modern trials, where care must be taken to maximize both disease control as well as quality of life for patients.
