Overview
Common risk factors in the development of meningioma are history of radiation treatment, inherited nervous system disorder, and female gender.[1][2][3]
- Radiation treatment: Clinical data suggests that head radiation therapy increase the risk of developing meningioma.
- An inherited nervous system disorder: Studies show the rare disorder neurofibromatosis type 2 increases the risk of meningioma and other brain tumors.
- Female hormones: As a tumor common in women than men, doctors believe that female hormones may play an important role in developing meningioma.
