Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) utilizes linear accelerators for precise radiation delivery.
  • The application of SRS in neuro-oncology is expanding, necessitating a review of its efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the expanding role of SRS in treating brain tumors.
  • To review published radiosurgical results for common intracranial neoplasms.
  • To discuss treatment modalities and indications for SRS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published literature on SRS for brain tumors.
  • Analysis of treatment outcomes for specific intracranial neoplasms.
  • Discussion of common SRS techniques and treatment planning.

Main Results:

  • SRS is effective for specific benign (vestibular schwannoma, meningioma, pituitary adenoma) and malignant (cerebral metastasis, malignant glioma) brain tumors.
  • Published results demonstrate varying degrees of efficacy depending on tumor type and characteristics.
  • Common treatment modalities and planning strategies are discussed.

Conclusions:

  • The role of SRS in brain tumor treatment is evolving.
  • Evidence supports SRS for select intracranial pathologies.
  • Indications and contraindications for SRS are presented based on current data.
