High-Yield Explanation
Surgical treatment should be, wherever possible, total excision. If this includes the site of dural attachment, the recurrence rate is less than 10 per cent. Incomplete excision of the dural attachment will result in a recurrence rate of between 20 and 30 per cent. Subtotal excision will result in 40 pet cent showing progressive growth. The role of radiotherapy is controversial and is usually reserved foumours with aggressive histological features or recurrenttumours, or where a subtotal resection has been performed.
