Background Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) is a noninvasive treatment for acoustic neuromas (ANs). Initial reports from our institution demonstrated that the reduction of treatment dose to 46.8 Gy resulted in improved preservation of fu

Purpose Salvage options for recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGGs) are limited by cumulative toxicity and limited efficacy despite advances in chemotherapeutic and radiotherapeutic techniques. Previous studies have reported encouraging survival results

Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) requires accurate and reproducible immobilization of the patient's head. This randomized study compared the efficacy of two commonly used forms of immobilization used for SRT. Two routinely used methods of

OBJECTIVE We investigated the safety and efficacy of stereotactic radiotherapy as an alternative therapy to surgical resection for optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs). METHODS Thirty patients and 33 optic nerves with ONSMs were treated with conven

Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and, more recently, fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) have been recognized as noninvasive alternatives to surgery for the treatment of acoustic schwannomas. We review our experience of acoustic t

Dosimetry of the small radiation fields used in radiosurgery is often difficult because of finite detector size and loss of lateral electronic equilibrium. However, small-field dosimetry is critical in radiosurgery where a relatively high dose in a s

PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to determine the impact of geometric distortions on the spatial accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided stereotactic localization for gamma knife functional radiosurgery. METHOD: The spatial accuracy of

Purpose: A phase I dose escalation of hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (H-SRT) in recurrent or persistent malignant gliomas as a means of increasing the biologically effective dose and decreasing the high rate of reoperation due to toxicity

Twenty-seven acoustic tumors in 26 patients were treated with multiple fractionated linear-accelerator-based stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). All patients with intact pretreatment facial nerve function with either small or large tumor volumes have th
