Popis: Objective Local failure of incompletely resected vestibular schwannoma (VS) following salvage stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using standard doses of 12 to 13 Gy is common. We hypothesized that dose-escalated SRS, corrected for biologically effective dose, would have superior local control of high-grade VS progressing after subtotal or near-total resection compared with standard-dose SRS.Design Retrospective cohort study.Setting Tertiary academic referral center.Participants Adult patients treated with linear accelerator-based SRS for progressive VS following subtotal or near-total resection.Main Outcome Measures Dose-escalated SRS was defined by a biologically effective dose exceeding a single-fraction 13-Gy regimen. Study outcomes were local control and neurologic sequelae of SRS. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate predictors of study outcomes.Results A total of 18 patients with progressive disease following subtotal (71%) and near-total (39%) resection of Koos grade IV disease (94%) were enrolled. Of the 18 patients, 7 were treated with dose-escalated SRS and 11 with standard-dose SRS. Over a median follow-up of 32 months after SRS, local control was 100% in the dose-escalated cohort and 91% in the standard-dose cohort (p = 0.95). Neurologic sequelae occurred in 28% of patients, including 60% of dose-escalated cohort and 40% of the standard-dose cohort (p = 0.12), although permanent neurologic sequelae were low at 6%.Conclusions Dose-escalated SRS has similar local control of recurrent VS following progression after subtotal or near-total resection and does not appear to have higher neurologic sequalae. Larger studies are needed.
