Does stereotactic radiosurgery provide equivalent tumor control to Simpson Grade 1 resection for patients with small- to medium-size meningiomas?
The PFS rate after radiosurgery was equivalent to that after resection of a Simpson Grade 1 tumor and was superior to Grade 2 and 3-4 resections in our study. If long-term follow-up confirms the high tumor control rate and low morbidity of radiosurgery, this technique will likely become the preferred treatment for most patients with small- to moderate-size meningiomas without symptomatic mass effect.
This study provides the first evidence that CD25 is a novel marker of bile canaliculus. Characteristics of CD25 expression may shed light on immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence analysis of bile canaliculus in both basic and clinical hepatic investigations.
