Radiobiology of Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
References .......................................................................... 59 Abstract In recent years, increasing number of cancer patients are treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), which deliver hypofractionated irradiation with high-dose per fraction . It is highly likely that the radiobiological principles such as 4 Rs (Reoxyg...
متن کاملStereotactic Radiosurgery in the Treatment of Sarcoma Brain Metastasis
CNS metastases from systemic sarcoma are exceedingly rare and difficult to treat, as the lesions appear late in the course of the disease. The situation is even more complicated by the fact that sarcoma is considered a radioresistant tumor of mesenchymal origin. Adjuvant CyberKnife radiosurgery (CKSRS) as a treatment option has not been described in the management of secondary central nervous s...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastasis from gynecological malignancies
Brain metastases are relatively uncommon in gynecological malignancies, and there is limited available data on their management. The present study reports the outcomes of patients with brain metastasis from gynecological malignancies who were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Patients with brain metastasis from a gynecological primary site were treated with SRS using the Cyberknife™...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases.
Worldwide, approximately 100,000 patients have undergone stereotactic radiosurgery for a variety of intracranial lesions, of which brain metastases represent the most common treatment indication. This article summarizes the major issues surrounding the management of brain metastases, and also analyzes 21 independent reports of Gamma Knife- or linear accelerator-based radiosurgery, representing ...
متن کاملStereotactic Radiosurgery for Brain Tumors
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-invasive technique for the delivery of highly focused ionizing radiation with extreme precision. It is used in neurosurgical practice as a less invasive means of targeting benign and malignant brain tumors, vascular malformations, and functional disorders. Its ability to elicit a desired response (e.g. tumor cell death) with minimal effect on normal surr...
