TL;DR: The multidimensional frailty score based on comprehensive geriatric assessment is more useful than conventional methods for predicting outcomes in geriatric patients undergoing surgery.

TL;DR: The 2000 WHO classification has identified the truly aggressive meningiomas better than did the previous criteria and may help to avoid over-treatment of patients with an atypical mening ioma as, once the tumour has “declared itself” by recurrence and histological features, it becomes a tumour that is poorly amenable to current therapies.

TL;DR: R Rathke cleft cysts are associated with a variety of clinical presentations and sometimes confusing intraoperative and pathological findings, especially after a partial removal, as in cases with squamous metaplasia.

TL;DR: Subtotal resection with or without radiation or radiosurgery should be considered as a suitable treatment option for patients with petroclival meningiomas, especially the elderly, because the growth rate of residual tumors is low.

TL;DR: Decreased muscle mass was associated with increased risk of grade 3–4 toxicity and poor prognosis in patients with stage III colon cancer and was maintained in subgroup analyses, especially in older and obese patients.
