Radiotherapy and radiosurgery for benign skull base meningiomas
Meningiomas located in the region of the base of skull are difficult to access. Complex combined surgical approaches are more likely to achieve complete tumor removal, but frequently at a cost of treatment related high morbidity. Local control following subtotal excision of benign meningiomas can be improved with conventional fractionated external beam radiation therapy with a reported 5-year p...
متن کاملLinac-based stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery in patients with meningioma
BACKGROUND It was our purpose to analyze long-term clinical outcome and to identify prognostic factors after Linac-based fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (Linac-based FSRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in patients with intracranial meningiomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 10/1995 and 03/2009, 297 patients with a median age of 59 years were treated with FSRT for intracranial men...
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 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 کاملshort term outcomes of gamma knife radiosurgery for skull base meningiomas in iran
introduction: skull base meningiomas constitute a large proportion of the meningiomas, which are the most common benign brain tumors. the treatment of skull base meningiomas is specially challenging and controversial due to the proximity of these tumors to the vital brain structures. radiosurgery is now emerging as an efficient alternative treatment modality which involves the ablation of tumor...
