Fertility treatment is associated with multiple meningiomas and younger age at diagnosis

Purpose Meningiomas are more common in females and 70–80% express the progesterone receptor, raising the possibility that high­dose exogenous estrogen/progesterone exposure, such as occurs during fertility treatments, may increase the risk of developing a meningioma. The goal of this study was to report the incidence of prior fertility treatment in a consecutive series of female meningioma patients.
