Reproductive and exogenous hormone factors in relation to risk of meningioma in women: a meta-analysis.

<h4>Background and objective</h4>A number of studies have focused on the association between oral contraceptive (OC), hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) and reproductive factors and meningioma risk, but the results were inconsistent. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to obtain more pre...
