Stereotactic Radiosurgery/Radiotherapy: A Historical Review
"Stereotactic" is an exact radiotherapy treatment modality which implements invasive and non-invasive facilities for improving precise dose delivery. Stereotactic refers to three-dimensional localization of a specific point in space by a unique set of coordinates that relate to a fixed external reference frame. An accurate delivery of radiation is attainable using these techniques with high pre...
متن کاملStereotactic Radiosurgery for Sarcoma
The primary treatment of most sarcoma patients is surgery. The wider the excision, the lower the probability of local failure. For typical cases of non-CNS disease, adjuvant RT is offered in most cases in addition to surgery to optimize local control. However, bone and soft tissue sarcoma is historically considered a “radioresistant” tumor because conventionally fractionated radiation treatment...
متن کاملStereotactic Radiosurgery for Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults and one of the most aggressive of all human cancers. GBM tumors are highly infiltrative and relatively resistant to conventional therapies. Aggressive management of GBM using a combination of surgical resection, followed by fractionated radiotherapy and chemotherapy has been shown to improve overall survival; however,...
متن کاملStereotactic Radiosurgery for Gliomas
The idea of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) was first conceived in 1951 by Swedish neurosurgeon Lars Leksell. Focus of his idea was to destroy the surgically inaccessible intracranial tissues or lesions with single fraction high-dose radiation obtained from multiple radiation beams directed to target by stereotactic instruments. He designed the first prototype of gamma knife with Larsson in the...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery as a primary treatment modality for pineal parenchymal tumors
Background: Pineal parenchymal tumor (PPT) is extremely rare and histologically heterogeneous, and the optimal treatment strategy is controversial. This study examined clinical outcomes of patients with PPT treated with cyberknife radiosurgery (CKRS) as a primary treatment modality after tumor biopsy. Materials and Methods: Between 2009 and 2018, there were six patients diagnosed with PPT who w...
