Our study suggests that possible osteoporotic conditions, large tumor volume, and older age may be associated with PTBE occurrence after LINAC-based radiation treatment for intracranial meningioma. In the future we anticipate that these findings may enhance the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of PTBE after radiation in meningioma patients.
