Preclinical Models of Meningioma

Abstract

The management of clinically aggressive meningiomas remains challenging due to limited treatment options aside from surgical removal and radiotherapy. High recurrence rates and lack of effective systemic therapies contribute to the unfavorable prognosis of these patients. Accurate in vitro and in vivo models are critical for understanding meningioma pathogenesis and to identify and test novel therapeutics. In this chapter, we review cell models, genetically engineered mouse models, and xenograft mouse models, with special emphasis on the field of application. Finally, promising preclinical 3D models such as organotypic tumor slices and patient-derived tumor organoids are discussed.

Keywords: Anticancer drugs; Cell lines; Ex vivo; Heterotopic; Orthotopic; Preclinical; Xenograft.
