多年来的多项研究证明了不健康的营养、缺乏体育活动、久坐的生活方式、肥胖和吸烟在癌症发生中代表了相关的危险因素。本研究旨在提供关于地中海饮食中脑膜瘤与食物摄入之间关系的概述，并探讨它是否对脑膜瘤的预防或者防止其复发具有一定的作用。作者在PubMed和Scopus数据库中进行广泛的文献搜索，调查地中海饮食和脑膜瘤之间的相关性。使用了以下MeSH词汇和自由文本词汇："脑膜瘤" AND "饮食"以及"脑肿瘤" AND "饮食"。数据库的搜索共获得了749篇文章。去除重复后，根据符合条件的摘要进行筛选，选定了40篇文章。由于不符合纳入标准，其中31篇文章被剔除。最终，此综述纳入了9篇文章。人们已经广泛认识到健康的生活方式和均衡的饮食在抗肿瘤发生中起到关键性和保护性的作用。然而，专门针对地中海饮食的研究仍然缺乏。因此，多中心和/或前瞻性、随机的研究是必需的，以更好地评估和确定食物摄入对脑膜瘤患病的影响。© 2023 年。作者(们)。

Several studies through the years have proven how an unhealthy nutrition, physical inactivity, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and smoking represent relevant risk factors in cancer genesis. This study aims to provide an overview about the relationship between meningiomas and food assumption in the Mediterranean diet and whether it can be useful in meningioma prevention or it, somehow, can prevent their recurrence. The authors performed a wide literature search in PubMed and Scopus databases investigating the presence of a correlation between Mediterranean diet and meningiomas. The following MeSH and free text terms were used: "Meningiomas" AND "Diet" and "Brain tumors" AND "diet." Databases' search yielded a total of 749 articles. After duplicate removal, an abstract screening according to the eligibility criteria has been performed and 40 articles were selected. Thirty-one articles were excluded because they do not meet the inclusion criteria. Finally, a total of 9 articles were included in this review. It is widely established the key and protective role that a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet can have against tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, studies focusing exclusively on the Mediterranean diet are still lacking. Thus, multicentric and/or prospective, randomized studies are mandatory to better assess and determine the impact of food assumptions in meningioma involvement.© 2023. The Author(s).
