A meningioma is a tumor that develops from the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. It is often benign, but in some cases it may exhibit malignant characteristics. Meningiomas can vary in size and can complicate the functioning of the nervous system if they are in close proximity to critical brain structures. In recent decades, there has been an increase in the number of reported cases of meningiomas, which is associated with the increasing use of radiation therapy in the treatment of various diseases, including cancer. Radiation can damage the DNA of cells, leading to mutations and, subsequently, the formation of meningiomas as a toxic reaction to radiation exposure. For this reason, understanding the etiology of radiation-induced meningiomas is becoming increasingly important in clinical practice and research.<\/p>\n
