Dr. Guan Yanlei
The optimal treatment for benign meningioma depends on the individual patient's specific circumstances. If the meningioma is less than 2 cm in size and located in a non-functional area of the brain, it can often be managed by clinical observation without immediate treatment. However, regular follow-up imaging is necessary to monitor tumor growth. If the meningioma shows signs of enlargement, surgical intervention may be recommended. Surgery is considered the best option when the tumor grows large enough to cause related clinical symptoms.
