Gamma knife radiosurgery for malignant tumors.
Between May 1990, and June 1994, 79 patients with malignant tumors were treated radiosurgically using a Leksell gamma unit at Asan Medical Center. Of these patients, 57 were metastatic brain tumor, 12 were glioblastoma multiforme (GM), 4 were primitive neuroectodermal tumor, 3 were malignant germ cell tumor, 2 were recurrent lymphoma, and 1 was adenoid cystic carcinoma of the orbit. Among 57 pa...
متن کاملRadiosurgery for metastatic spinal tumors: follow-up MR findings.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging is the primary tool for evaluation and monitoring of spinal tumors. We retrospectively analyzed the MR imaging findings before and after SRS for metastatic spinal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed MR imaging findings on 79 metastatic spinal tumor lesions in 44 patients (29 male and 15 female)who had undergone radiosurgery between November 2003 and Apr...
متن کاملTreatment of Spinal Tumors Using Cyberknife Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Pain
Copyright © 2009 by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Benign and malignant tumors of the spinal column and spinal cord are a common and costly clinical problem, causing significant morbidity. Metastatic disease to the spine is the most common presentation; approximately 160 000 new spinal metastases are diagnosed in the United States each year, resulting in considerable pain, functional imp...
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...
متن کاملCyberKnife radiosurgery for spinal neoplasms.
The role of stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of intracranial lesions is well established. Its use for the treatment of spinal lesions has been limited by the availability of effective target immobilization and localization technologies. Conventional external beam radiotherapy lacks the precision to allow delivery of large doses of radiation near radiosensitive structures such as the ...
