CD8A and neoplasm: Subgroup analysis revealed that the AUC of nomogram for predicting 1-year and 2-year recurrence of WHO grade 1 and WHO grade 2 meningiomas was 0.872 (0.652) and 0.828 (0.751), respectively.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Preoperative ADC histogram parameters and tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T cells may be potential biomarkers in predicting meningioma recurrence risk.<h4>Clinical relevance statement</h4>The findings will improve prognostic accuracy for patients with meningioma and potentially allow for targeted treatment of individuals who have the recurrent form.
