ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Gross total resection, without causing neurological deficits, is challenging in skull base meningioma (SBM). Therefore, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an important approach for SBMs; however, it is difficult to predict the long-term prognosis.OBJECTIVE:
To identify the predictive factors for tumor progression after SRS for World Health Organization (WHO) grade I SBMs, focusing on the Ki-67 labeling index (LI).METHODS:
In this single-center retrospective study, factors affecting progression-free survival rates (PFSs) and neurological outcomes in patients undergoing SRS for postoperative SBMs were evaluated. Based on the Ki-67 LI, patients were classified into 3 groups low (<4%), intermediate (4%-6%), and high LI (>6%).RESULTS:
In the 112 patients enrolled, the cumulative 5- and 10-year PFSs were 93% and 83%, respectively. The PFSs were significantly higher in the low LI group (95% at 10 years) compared with the other groups (intermediate LI, 60% at 10 years, P = .007; high LI, 20% at 10 years, P = .001). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis demonstrated that the Ki-67 LI was significantly associated with the PFSs (low vs intermediate LI; hazard ratio, 6.00; 95% CI, 1.41-25.54; P = .015; low vs high LI; hazard ratio, 31.90; 95% CI, 5.59-181.77; P = .001).CONCLUSION:
Ki-67 LI may be a useful predictor of long-term prognosis in SRS for postoperative WHO grade I SBM. SRS provides excellent long- and mid-term PFSs in SBMs with Ki-67 LIs <4% or 4% to 6%, with a low risk of radiation-induced adverse events.
