Study summary

Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors. Current treatment relies on surgical resection and radiotherapy, but molecular predictors for recurrence are lacking. This study aims to investigate epigenetic features, specifically histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and DNA methylation, to stratify patients. The study involves a retrospective cohort to define an epigenetic signature and a prospective cohort to validate it in tissues and liquid biopsies (plasma/EVs).

Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion Criteria (Retrospective \& Prospective): * Patient aged 18 years or older. * First diagnosis of uni-focal meningioma of the convexity. * Macroscopical total resection (Simpson 1-3). (Retrospective only): * Surgery performed between 2007 and 2016; * availability of FFPE sample and medical records. Exclusion Criteria: * Genetic syndromes. * Diffuse Meningeal Meningiomatosis. * Patients who underwent experimental treatment in neo-adjuvant setting.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Definition of a novel epigenetic signature based on MS-profiling — Months 1-12
    Identification of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) patterns in FFPE tissue samples capable of classifying tumor recurrence.
