What is Meningioma?

Meningioma is a non-cancerous tumour of the brain and spinal cord membrane.

There is a three-layer covering beneath the skull on the brain and spinal cord. When a tumour grows in these layers, it is called Meningioma.

It is primarily benign and shows signs and symptoms according to its size.

If the tumour is small and slow-growing, it might not need any intervention.

The sign and symptoms include -

  • Headaches
  • Changes in vision,
  • Dizziness
  • Hearing loss
  • Seizures

How is the Procedure Performed?

Many approaches are available for treating Meningioma based on the size and location of the tumour; a wait-and-watch approach is needed when the tumour is small in size and slow-growing.

If the tumour is giant and causing a lot of discomfort, then surgery, either craniotomy or microsurgery, is done to remove the tumour and cancer cells.

If some part of the cancer is left post-surgery, Radiation Therapy is needed by either SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery) or Fractional Radiosurgery.

Chemotherapy is rarely used in such cases; however, if the tumour is not responding to any other treatment, then chemotherapy is done.

Who is the Right Doctor for Meningioma Treatment?

The right doctor for treating Meningioma is a neurologist, head and neck surgeon, neurosurgeon, spine surgeon, and radiation oncologist.

What tests are required?

Meningioma is often challenging to diagnose as vague symptoms, and small size goes unnoticed. However, tests required for the diagnosis of Meningioma are -

  • CT scans
  • MRI (Magnetic resonance Imagining)
  • In some cases, a biopsy may also be required.

 

What is the Usual Success Rate for this Procedure?

A ten-year survival rate for Meningioma is around 60%. It largely depends upon the patient's age and the nature of cancer.

In malignant cases, the survival rate dips to 50%.

What is included in the cost of Meningioma Treatment?

The cost of Meningioma includes: 

  • Preoperative diagnostic tests cost may include [CT Scan or MRI of the brain]

  • Surgery cost (Depends upon the type and size of the tumour and the extent to which the tumour has spread)

  • Type of surgery [Craniotomy, Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery, Neuroendoscopic Surgery, or Spinal Surgery]

  • Post-Operative cost [there might be a need for Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy before or post-surgery]

  • Medicines 

  • Patient's hospital stay [can range from a few days to a couple of weeks]

What are the factors affecting cost of Meningioma Treatment?

The overall cost of the procedure also varies based on the patient's condition and preferences. Some of these factors are:

  • Type of hospital and room opted (General, Twin sharing, or single room)

  • The stage and type of cancer

  • Patients may require repeated investigation through PET CT and related tests  Post-surgery / Chemotherapy / Radiation Therapy

  • Any additional tests may be required, such as ECG or blood tests

  • An extended stay at the Hospital 

  • Cost of Accommodation during follow-ups, in case the patient is not a local resident [may take longer duration in case of chemotherapy or radiotherapy sessions]
