Gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery for radiation-induced meningiomas.
BACKGROUND Radiation-induced meningiomas present a unique clinical dilemma given the fact that patients with these tumors have often received a prior full course of radiotherapy. As such, traditional radiotherapy is limited by lifetime tissue tolerances to radiation, leaving surgery and radiosurgery as attractive treatment options. OBJECTIVES To ascertain the safety and efficacy of Gamma Knif...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery for intracranial meningiomas: current concepts and future perspectives.
Meningiomas are among the most common adult brain tumors. Although the optimal management of meningiomas would provide complete elimination of the lesion, this cannot always be accomplished safely through resection. Therefore, other therapeutic modalities, such as stereotactic radiosurgery (as primary or adjunctive therapy), have emerged. In the current review, we have provided an overview of t...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery in patients with multiple intracranial meningiomas.
PURPOSE Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) delivers a potent, highly focused dose of radiation to the tumor while sparing the surrounding normal tissues. The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome of patients with intracranial meningiomas treated with SRS. METHODS A total of 73 patients with 221 benign meningiomas treated between 1991 and 2005 with SRS and followed up for more than a ye...
متن کاملPredictors of peritumoral edema after stereotactic radiosurgery of supratentorial meningiomas.
OBJECTIVE Anecdotal evidence suggests that radiosurgical ablation of parasagittal meningiomas may be associated with increased risk of subsequent edema. Potential predictors of postradiosurgical peritumoral edema, including parasagittal tumor location, tumor size, and treatment dose, were evaluated. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed records of 102 patients with 111 supratentorial meningioma...
متن کاملCyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Hypofractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy As First-line Treatments for Imaging-diagnosed Intracranial Meningiomas
Definitive radiotherapy is an important alternative treatment for meningioma patients who are inoperable or refuse surgery. We evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of CyberKnife-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (hSRT) as first-line treatments for intracranial meningiomas that were diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or computed...
