Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for skull base tumors: analysis of treatment accuracy using a stereotactic mask fixation system
BACKGROUND To assess the accuracy of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) using a stereotactic mask fixation system. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixteen patients treated with FSRT were involved in the study. A commercial stereotactic mask fixation system (BrainLAB AG) was used for patient immobilization. Serial CT scans obtained before and during FSRT were used to assess the accuracy of pat...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy: background, definitions, applications.
Stereotactic radiosurgery has emerged in recent years as a key treatment technique for a number of intracranial lesions, whether malignant or benign. In this issue of IMAJ, Attia and colleagues present a review of this treatment modality in general, as well as of their own experience [1]. The group from Sheba Medical Center is to be commended for their pioneering role in the introduction of thi...
متن کاملFractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for pediatric patients with retinoblastoma
In this report we discuss the application of a modified Gill-Thomas-Cosman (GTC) relocatable head frame to enable fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) of infants under anesthesia. This system has been used to treat two infants, ages 12 and 18 months for bilateral retinoblastoma on a Varian 6/100 linear accelerator. The GTC head frame was used to reproduceably position and treat the orbi...
متن کاملFractionated stereotactic conformal radiotherapy for large benign skull base meningiomas
PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficacy of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) for large skull base meningiomas. METHODS AND MATERIALS Fifty-two patients with large skull base meningiomas aged 34-74 years (median age 56 years) were treated with FSRT between June 2004 and August 2009. All patients received FSRT for residual or progressive meningiomas more than 4 centimeters in grea...
متن کاملFractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy as an Adjuvant Therapy for Pituitary Adenomas
Surgery is first-line therapy for functioning pituitary adenomas (FPAs) and non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFPAs) apart from prolactinomas. About 30% of NFPAs recur within five to 10 years and up to 60% of FPAs are still biochemically active after surgery. Somatostatin analogues and/or the growth hormone (GH)-receptor antagonist pegvisomant are often needed to achieve disease control ...
