To prevent meningioma, attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors.
Behavioral risk factors
- Overweight (BMI ≥ 25; obesity)-higher likelihood of developing meningioma:
- BMI 25-29.9: 21%
- BMI ≥ 30: 54
Medication
- Cyproterone (synthetic progesterone derivative).
Radiotherapy
- After computed tomography (CT) of the head and neck, the risk of malignant (malignant) brain tumors in children is increased.
