Description
Summary:Abstract The recurrence and progression of treated intracranial meningiomas highlights the problem of the type of follow-up that should be used and whether early complementary treatment is indicated. The aim of this study was to evaluate different biochemical markers involved in cell proliferation and transformation to identify new prognostic factors in intracranial meningiomas. Between 1989 and 2003, 120 intracranial meningiomas were studied biochemically. The levels of estrogen receptors (RE), progesterone receptors (RP), cathepsin B (CB), cathepsin L (CL), stefin A (ATA), stefin B (STB), cystatin C (CYSC), urokinase (u-PA), type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAI-1), cathepsin D (CD) and thymidine kinase activity (TK) were measured in tumor extracts using biochemical assays. Results Out of 120 meningiomas, 73 were grade I, 39 grade II and eight grade III according to the WHO classification. Of these patients, 17 showed recurrence. The mean follow-up was 47 months. Monofactorial analysis showed that expression of progesterone receptors (RP) had an inverse correlation with recurrence ( p = 0.0025 %) and that thymidine kinase activity (TK), cathepsin L (CL), the WHO grade and the degree of tumor resection correlated with recurrence ( p < 0.05). Principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis confirmed these results. The results of this study confirm the importance of biological parameters (PR, CL, TK) as prognostic factors for the risk of recurrence in intracranial meningiomas.
