Regression of intracranial meningioma following treatment with nivolumab: Case report and review of the literature.
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience : Official Journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia 2017 March
The treatment of refractory meningiomas remains a challenge for both neurosurgeons and neuro-oncologists. There have been no clinical reports of the use or effects of anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with meningioma. We describe a patient whose intracranial meningioma decreased significantly in size after treatment with nivolumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1, for a concomitant advanced lung cancer. This is the first clinical report suggesting that antibodies targeting PD-1 are effective in treating meningioma. It should encourage further research into the use of checkpoint inhibitors in meningioma.
