Radiosurgery for Brain Metastases
Except for solitary lesions causing mass effect, the treatment of brain metastases is primarily palliative. In the case of solitary metastases, the occurrence of longterm survival is not unheard of; but in general, the guiding philosophy is palliation, reversal of neurologic deficits and maintenance of quality of life and functional status. There has been disagreement regarding the total number...
متن کاملDoes Diffusion Lesion Volume Above 70 mL Preclude Favorable Outcome Despite Post-Thrombolysis Recanalization?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Whether to withhold recanalization treatment when the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion exceeds a given volume is unsettled. Our aim was to assess the impact of recanalization on outcome in patients with baseline DWI lesion ≥70 mL (DWI≥70 mL) treated ≤4.5 hours from onset. We hypothesized that recanalization is beneficial in a sizeable fraction of these patients and...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases.
Worldwide, approximately 100,000 patients have undergone stereotactic radiosurgery for a variety of intracranial lesions, of which brain metastases represent the most common treatment indication. This article summarizes the major issues surrounding the management of brain metastases, and also analyzes 21 independent reports of Gamma Knife- or linear accelerator-based radiosurgery, representing ...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases: analysis of outcome and risk of brain radionecrosis
PURPOSE to investigate the factors affecting survival and toxicity in patients treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), with special attention to volumes of brain receiving a specific dose (V10 - V16 Gy) as predictors for brain radionecrosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred six consecutive patients with 310 cerebral metastases less than 3.5 cm were treated with SRS as primary treatment ...
متن کاملImplications of Identifying Additional Cerebral Metastases during Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
Introduction. Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GK-SRS) is commonly used to treat cerebral metastases. Although additional intracranial metastases are often found on the day of GK-SRS, the significance of finding them is unknown. Methods. A retrospective review of 133 patients undergoing GK-SRS for cerebral metastases was performed. The change in number of metastases detected between initial referral m...
