New frontiers in radiosurgery for the brain and body.

چکیده
Radiosurgery is defined as the use of highly focused beams of radiation to ablate a pathologic target, thus achieving a surgical objective by noninvasive means. Recent advances have allowed a wide variety of intracranial lesions to be effectively treated with radiosurgery, and radiosurgical treatment has been accepted as a standard part of the neurosurgical armamentarium. The advent of frameless radiosurgery now permits radiosurgical treatment to all parts of the body and is being actively explored by many centers. This article reviews some of the modern tools for radiosurgical treatment and discusses the current clinical practice of radiosurgery.

متن کاملRecent advances in radiosurgical management of brain metastases.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has become a widely available treatment option for patients with brain metastases. Recent clinical trials suggest that SRS can be used without upfront whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), resulting in several clinical dilemmas in the current daily practice of SRS. The proper patient selection for SRS or WBRT continues to evolve. Statistical models to predict when new...
متن کاملBiology and treatment of metastasis of sarcoma to the brain.
Sarcomas are rare tumors with devastating clinical consequences, often affecting children as well as adults. Brain metastasis in sarcoma is frequently preceded by lung metastasis. Common offenders include Ewing sarcoma, osteosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. Although our understanding of sarcoma metastasis remains limited, several cellular factors and signaling pathways appear to play regulatory role...
