Popis: Background Meningioma is a common intracranial tumor originating from arachnoid cap cells. Meningiomas are generally benign tumors curable by one-time resection. However, some meningiomas regrow and invade into the dura mater, and thus frequently require additional treatment. A useful marker to predict the regrowth of meningioma is desired. This study aimed to clarify the significance of p53 and Ki67 for postoperative recurrence of meningioma. Materials and methods The expression of p53 and Ki67 in 215 intracranial or intraspinal meningiomas was investigated by immunohistochemistry. Results Of the 215 meningiomas, 35 cases (16.3%) were p53-positive and 49 cases (22.8%) were Ki67-positive. Multivariate analysis revealed Ki67 and p53 status as being significantly correlated with recurrence. Positivity for either Ki67- or p53 was significantly associated with poor recurrence-free survival. Conclusion Combined p53 and Ki67 status might represent a useful independent predictive marker for recurrence of meningioma.
