Brief description of study
The purpose of this study is to compare the approach of observation with that of treating with radiation following surgery of a grade II meningioma.
Detailed description of study
Participants will be randomly assigned following surgery to either receive observation or to receive radiation therapy. Participants who receive radiation will do so 5 days per week for 6 1/2 to 7 weeks (33 treatments).
The doctor will continue to monitor the condition of all participants through office visits at months 3, 6 and 12 for the first year from randomization, every 6 months for year 2 and 3, then yearly for 10 years. Participants in both groups will also have MRIs at least every 6 months from randomization for 5 years, then at least yearly for 10 years.
