How serious is meningioma tumor?

Location: Meningiomas are mostly benign tumors and curable by resection. The seriousness depends on the location that may determine the degree of difficulty of surgical removal.

Depends...: This tumor is treated with surgery and/or radiation therapy. The outcomes are defined by the type of meningioma (pathology), extent of invasion into the surrounding tissues, location of the tumor, extent of resection, growth rate, recurrence status, and the patients' performance and functional status. http://www.brighamandwomens.org/departments_and_services/neurosurgery/meningioma/meningiomafacts.
