Combining FORGE Score and Histopathological Diagnostic Criteria of Atypical Meningioma Enables Risk Stratification of Tumor Progression

More than 50% of atypical meningiomas regrow within 5 years after surgery. FORGE score is a newly created tool to estimate the MIB-1 index in cranial meningiomas. In this investigation, we aimed to assess the predictive value of the FORGE score in combination with major diagnostic criteria of atypic...
