Summary
This study reviews 165 patients with intracranial lesions treated with radiosurgery. Radiosurgery offers a non-invasive alternative for brain tumors, with outcomes aligning with published data.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Radiation Oncology
- Oncology
Background:
- The Royal Adelaide Hospital has accumulated extensive experience in radiosurgery for intracranial lesions.
- A review of patient data from November 1993 to December 2004 was conducted.
Purpose of the Study:
- To update the radiosurgery experience at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
- To describe clinical features, treatment details, and outcomes for intracranial lesions treated with radiosurgery.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 165 patients with 168 intracranial lesions treated between November 1993 and December 2004.
- Inclusion of re-treatment data, resulting in 175 treatment episodes (163 radiosurgery, 12 stereotactic radiotherapy).
Main Results:
- The most common lesions treated were acoustic neuroma (65), arteriovenous malformation (58), solitary brain metastasis (23), and meningioma (14).
- Treatment outcomes were consistent with previously reported findings in published literature.
Conclusions:
- Radiosurgery is an effective non-invasive treatment for various intracranial lesions.
- It presents a viable alternative to traditional neurosurgery and external beam radiotherapy for brain tumors.
