Overall survival Mean overall survival (OS) was 13.8 years (median was not reached) with 96% at 3 years, 93% at 5 years, 83% at 10 years and 64% at 15 years after RT. For low-grade meningioma survival rate was 97% at 3 years, 94% at 5 years, 85% at 10 years and 65% at 15 years, for atypical meningioma 91% at 3 years, 86% at 5 years, 62% at 10 years and 50% at 15 years.
