This article presents an overview of stereotactic radiosurgery for intracranial glioma. It assists readers in reviewing up-to-date literature on this topic and determining indications of radiosurgery in the treatment of…
The authors discuss the results of Gamma Knife (Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) radiosurgery (GKS) for brain metastases based on their retrospective review of 2645 cases. All patients were treated according…
Depending on their location and angioarchitecture, intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) pose various neurologic symptoms as well as a risk of intracranial hemorrhage. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), microsurgery, and embolization play…
This article summarizes tumor control and functional outcomes of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for patients with nonvestibular schwannomas, in comparison with those treated with microsurgical resection. To date, surgical resection has…
Chordomas and chondrosarcomas are rare, slow-glowing, locally aggressive tumors with high recurrence rates. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an important management option for patients with recurrent or residual chordomas and chondrosarcomas….
Multi-session stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) enables a high dose per fraction to be delivered to the tumor bed with rapid dose falloff that allows for sparing of critical structures, resulting in…
Stereotactic radiosurgery for intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) has been performed since the 1970s. When an AVM is treated with radiosurgery, radiation injury to the vascular endothelium induces the proliferation of…
This article investigates the role of radiosurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy in the management of vestibular schwannomas (VS), reviewing the authors’ own prospective cohort and the current literature. For patients with…
Despite increasing worldwide experience, the role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the management of cerebral cavernous malformations (CMs) remains controversial. Microsurgical excision of easily accessible CMs is typically safe; therefore,…
The goal of pituitary adenoma radiosurgery is to halt tumor growth, normalize hormonal hypersecretion if present, maintain normal pituitary function, and preserve important structures around the sella. The radiation dose…
