Dose selection in stereotactic radiosurgery.
Selecting optimal doses for radiosurgery requires a thorough consideration of existing dose-response data for radiation injury of brain and surrounding structures and of the doseresponse for the desired endpoint (tumor control, obliteration of a vascular malformation, relief of trigeminal neuralgia, etc.). This paper reviews the radiobiological and physics principles that should be considered i...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastases: a systematic review
In many patients with brain metastases, the primary therapeutic aim is symptom palliation and maintenance of neurologic function, but in a subgroup, long-term survival is possible. Local control in the brain, and absent or controlled extracranial sites of disease are prerequisites for favorable survival. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a focal, highly precise treatment option with a long tra...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery (SRS): treatment option for recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
BACKGROUND This article describes the results of a study of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the treatment of patients with recurrent malignant glioma. METHODS Thirty-two patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) were treated for 36 lesions with SRS from 1993 to 2001. Nineteen patients were male and 13 were female. The median age at primary diagnosis of the tumor was 56 years (r...
متن کاملIntegral Whole Brain Dose from Stereotactic Radiosurgery of 47 Metastatic Lesions: A Dosimetric Case Study
This report describes the case of a 15-year-old male diagnosed with primary ALK-positive adenocarcinoma of the lung metastatic to the brain. He was treated with surgical resection for a single lesion followed by whole brain radiotherapy and subsequently underwent 10 courses of stereotactic radiosurgery for 47 lesions delivered over a four-year period. Currently, all metastatic lesions in the br...
متن کاملEsophageal tolerance to high-dose stereotactic radiosurgery
PURPOSE Esophageal tolerance is needed to guide the safe administration of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). We evaluated comprehensive dose-volume parameters of acute esophageal toxicity in patients with spinal metastasis treated with SRS. MATERIALS AND METHODS From May 2008 to May 2011, 30 cases in 27 patients with spinal metastasis received single fraction SRS to targets neighboring esophag...
