The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of recurrence of protein expression in surgical samples of meningiomas. Thus, the expression of proteins that have been reported to be associated with prognosis of meningiomas was assessed in a sample of 59 World Health Organization grade I tumors obtained after Simpson grade I to III surgical resection (complete excision) and that were followed for 6 to 16 years. The expression was investigated applying immunohistochemical and tissue microarray...
