Risk factors for the recurrence of craniopharyngioma

Abstract:

Craniopharyngioma（CP） is a chronic disease，and at present，multimodality therapy with the goals of controlling CP and improving quality of life is becoming the main treatment method for this disease. Long-term follow-up has shown that tumor recurrence is a common feature of CP and can lead to the reduction in quality of life，and therefore，it is of great importance to identify the risk factors for the recurrence of CP. This article summarizes the high-risk factors for CP recurrence from multiple aspects and factors，in order to provide a basis for further exploring and predicting the risk of recurrence.
