Clinical and Biological Correlates of Preoperative Cognitive Functioning of Glioma and Meningioma Patients.

Conclusions: NT-proBNP was not associated with memory, language, and attention/executive cognitive domains of glioma and meningioma patients. Increased hsCRP was related to slower psychomotor speed and worse mental flexibility in glioma patients, indicating that inflammation processes are important for cognitive functioning in glial tumors.
