PURPOSE: This study aimed to improve the understanding of the role of adjuvant radiotherapy (AR) after subtotal resection (STR) of World Health Organization (WHO) grade I meningiomas.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the Brain Tumor Registry of Japan database. Among 7341 patients diagnosed with intracranial meningioma during 2001-2008, we identified 406 patients with WHO grade I meningioma treated with STR as initial treatment. Data on progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed for their relevance to clinical factors including age, sex, tumor location and size, presence of preoperative symptoms, and AR.
RESULTS: AR was administered for 73 patients (18.0%). Regrowth occurred in 90 cases (22.2%) during the median follow-up period of 6.0 years (interquartile range, 2.7-7.7 years). Multivariate Cox regression analysis of the entire cohort showed that no AR was associated with significantly shorter PFS (hazard ratio [HR] 2.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.33-5.42, p = 0.004). The therapeutic effect of AR was confirmed for skull base, but not non-skull base, meningiomas (p = 0.003 and 0.69, respectively). Propensity score matching analysis balanced the influence of confounding factors to generate AR+ and AR- cohorts of 73 patients each. PFS was significantly longer in the AR+ cohort than in the AR- cohort (HR 3.46, 95% CI 1.53-8.59, p = 0.003). Subgroup analysis demonstrated the favorable effect of AR only for skull base meningiomas.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed that AR improves tumor control after STR in WHO grade I meningiomas. However, this beneficial effect might be limited to skull base meningiomas.
