. The study, published in the October 17 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, is the first to document the extent of the association between LAM and meningiomas."
The meningiomas were_detected in an ongoing study of the natural_history of LAM.

and other tissues of LAM patients produce certain growth factors that are_believed to foster meningiomas.
However, the possibility that the meningiomas have a hormonal cause has implications for the overall treatment of LAM.
However, studies have found that progesterone can stimulate growth of meningiomas.
Anti-progestins (drugs that interfere with this hormone's action) have even been_used to treat meningiomas."
"We cannot rule_out the possibility that the high prevalence of meningiomas may_be a result of both LAM
. Moss and colleagues recommend using MRI to screen for meningiomas in LAM patients
they advise against the use of progesterone. The scientists also suggest that patients with meningiomas have yearly MRI scans to evaluate tumor growth. Surgery is_preferred the treatment for these tumors which are slow-growing and rarely spread
