Innovative Therapeutic Strategies in the Treatment of Meningioma

Few medical options are available for progressive/recurrent and atypical/anaplastic meningiomas. New developments in chemotherapeutic options for meningiomas have been explored over the past decade. We review the more recent literature to recognize studies investigating recent medical and chemotherapeutic agents that have been experienced or are currently being tested for meningiomas. Combination therapies affecting multiple molecular targets are currently opening up and present significant promise as adjuvant therapeutic options. However, there is an evident need for new molecular studies in order to better understand the biology of meningiomas and, thus, to identify new and more specific therapeutic targets.
