Meningioma: Meningiomas are usually benign slow growing tumors that arise from the coverings of the brain (meninges). Meningiomas represent 20% of all brain tumors. Some Meningiomas are aggressive in their growth and may require an additional dose of stereotactic radiation or multiple doses of radiation. Discuss the risks and benefits and alternatives with your neurosurgeon.
