Stereotactic 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...

form. Local brain control was not defined in the abstract. In summary, three randomized trials detected an improvement in local brain control in patients treated with WBRT and radiosurgery boost compared with WBRT alone. Local brain control at one year ranged from 82–92% in the radiosurgery boost arm vs. 0–71% in the WBRT alone arm. The study by Kondziolka et al. also noted superior intracrania...
