Among the 52 patients with WHO grade 2 disease, survival time ranged from 0.56 to 31.6 years, and 46 patients (88.5%) had >24 months of survival. The median age at the time of diagnosis was 57 years (IQR, 46-70 years), and sex was evenly divided (50% male).
Currently, more than 90% of adults between the ages of 20 and 44 survive for five years or longer after being diagnosed with meningioma. This encouraging survival rate includes many patients who have gone on to live several decades after their diagnosis.

19 sty 2024 · Meningiomas account for ~25% of all primary brain tumors. These tumors have a relatively favorable prognosis with ~92% of meningioma patients surviving >5 years after diagnosis. Yet, patients can report high disease burden and survivorship issues even years after treatment, affecting health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
9 mar 2012 · Meningiomas are the second most common primary brain tumors, with incidence rates of 3–4 cases per 100 000 males per year and 9–13 cases per 100 000 females per year. 1, 2 The incidence increases with age and reaches its peak in the sixth and seventh decades.
The relative five-year survival rate for high-grade meningioma is 63.5 percent. However, many factors can affect prognosis. These include the tumor grade and molecular type, the person’s age and health when diagnosed, and how they respond to treatment.
Key Points. Many meningioma patients desire additional information about diagnosis and treatment options. Pretreatment symptoms of meningiomas may persist long after treatment. Fatigue and cognitive decline may lower quality of life long after meningioma treatment. Importance of the Study.
