Meningiomas were in the news this spring after actress Mary Tyler Moore had a tumor removed from her brain.

Dr. Lynn Taylor, associate clinical professor at the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle, discusses with host Dr. Anthony Alessi the signs, risks, and surgical options for patients with meningiomas, which patients require treatment and how to involve patients in their treatment plan.
