ObjectiveRadiation-induced meningioma (RIM) is an uncommon late risk of cranial irradiation. We conducted an exhaustive review of individual patient data to characterize RIM.MethodsUsing a systematic search of the PubMed database, we performed a comprehensive literature review to characterize and investigate RIM. Studentttests were used to evaluate differences between variables. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess survival. Statistical significance was assessed using a log-rank test.ResultsOur analysis included 251 cases of RIM. The average age at onset for the primary lesion was 13.0 ± 13.5 years, and the average radiation dose delivered to this lesion was 38.8 ± 16.8 Gy. Secondary meningiomas could be divided into grades I (140), II (55), and III (10) tumors. Thirty patients (11.9%) had multiple lesions, and 46 (18.3%) had recurrent meningiomas. The latency period between radiotherapy for primary lesions and the onset of meningiomas was 22.9 ± 11.4 years. The latency period was shorter for patients with grade III meningioma and for those in the high-dose and intermediate-dose radiation groups who received systemic chemotherapy. Aggressive meningiomas and multiple meningiomas were more common in the high-dose and intermediate-dose groups than in the low-dose group. The 5-year and 10-year survival rates for all patients with meningioma were 77.7% and 66.1%, respectively.ConclusionsFor patients treated with cranial radiotherapy, the risk of secondary meningioma warrants a longer follow-up period beyond the standard time frame typically designated for determining the risk of primary tumor relapse.
