Fractionated Radiation Therapy for Benign Nonacoustic Schwannomas.
OBJECTIVES We analyzed the outcomes of patients with benign nonacoustic schwannomas treated with fractionated radiation therapy (RT). METHODS Between October 1987 and March 2013, 11 patients with benign nonacoustic schwannomas diagnosed radiographically (n=3) or pathologically (n=8) were treated with fractionated RT with curative intent at the University of Florida. We reviewed patients' medi...
متن کاملFrameless Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Vestibular Schwannomas: A Single-Institution Experience
OBJECTIVE To examine tumor control, hearing preservation, and complication rates after frameless fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in patients with vestibular schwannomas (VS). METHODS Thirty-seven patients treated with fractionated SRS from 2002 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Ninety-five percent were treated with 25 Gy in five fractions, targeting a median tumor volume of ...
متن کاملFractionated stereotactic radiation therapy for intact brain metastases
Purpose Limited data exist on fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT) for brain metastases. We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FSRT and further define its role in brain metastasis management. Methods and materials A total of 72 patients were treated with linear accelerator-based FSRT to 182 previously untreated, intact brain metastases. Targets received 25 or 30 Gy in...
متن کاملLinear accelerator stereotactic radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas: a UK series.
AIMS To evaluate non-auditory toxicity and local control after linear accelerator stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for the treatment of vestibular schwannomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional policy was to use SRS for radiologically progressing vestibular schwannomas. Case notes and plans were retrospectively reviewed for all patients undergoing SRS for vestibular schwannomas between S...
متن کاملA statistical comparison of prognostic index systems for brain metastases after stereotactic radiosurgery or fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy.
AIMS Prognostic indices are commonly used in the context of brain metastases radiotherapy to guide patient decision-making and clinical trial stratification. The purpose of this investigation was to compare nine published brain metastases prognostic indices using traditional and novel statistical comparison metrics. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was carried out on two instituti...
