The Simpson grading in meningioma surgery: does the tumor location influence the prognostic value?

In meningiomas, location-specific differences of the prognostic value of the Simpson classification are sparsely investigated but can influence strategy of surgery. We therefore compared the prognostic value of the Simpson classification in different tumor locations. Progression was compared with Si...

Zusammenfassung:In meningiomas, location-specific differences of the prognostic value of the Simpson classification are sparsely investigated but can influence strategy of surgery. We therefore compared the prognostic value of the Simpson classification in different tumor locations. Progression was compared with Simpson grade in 826 meningioma patients (median age 58 years, female:male ratio 2.4) in location-specific uni- and multivariate analyses. Simpson grade strongly correlated with tumor location (p
