Summary

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) offers comparable outcomes to surgery for benign brain tumors like acoustic neuromas and meningiomas. This review explores SRS efficacy in treating various non-cancerous intracranial neoplasms.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) use for intracranial lesions has increased.
  • SRS is now used for benign brain tumors, not just malignant ones.
  • Surgical resection was the traditional standard for benign lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on stereotactic radiosurgery for benign brain tumors.
  • To compare SRS outcomes with surgical resection for these tumors.
  • To specifically examine SRS results for acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, and pituitary adenomas.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on SRS for benign brain tumors.
  • Analysis of treatment outcomes for various benign neoplasms.
  • Focus on specific tumor types: acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas.

Main Results:

  • Outcomes of SRS for benign brain tumors appear comparable to surgical resection.
  • SRS is a viable treatment option for specific benign intracranial lesions.
  • Evidence supports SRS efficacy in acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, and pituitary adenomas.

Conclusions:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery is an effective treatment for select benign brain tumors.
  • SRS provides an alternative to surgery with comparable results for these lesions.
  • Further research supports the role of SRS in neuro-oncology for benign conditions.
