Summary

Stereotactic radiosurgery offers an effective alternative to surgery for brain tumors called meningiomas, especially for skull base tumors. It provides comparable tumor control rates with lower risks, making it a primary treatment option for high-risk surgical candidates.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Meningiomas are the second most common primary brain tumor.
  • Surgical resection is standard for accessible tumors, but challenging for skull base locations.
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an alternative for benign meningiomas and residual/recurrent tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery for meningiomas.
  • To compare SRS outcomes with surgical resection, particularly for skull base and superficial lesions.
  • To determine optimal indications for SRS in meningioma management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on stereotactic radiosurgery for meningiomas.
  • Analysis of tumor control rates and treatment-related morbidity.
  • Comparison of outcomes based on tumor location (skull base vs. superficial) and size.

Main Results:

  • SRS demonstrates 5-year tumor control rates equivalent to gross-total resection.
  • SRS offers lower morbidity than surgery, especially for skull base meningiomas.
  • Tumor control decreases and radiation toxicity increases with larger tumor size and superficial location.

Conclusions:

  • SRS is a highly effective primary treatment for skull base meningiomas in high-surgical-risk patients.
  • SRS is also indicated for superficial meningiomas when surgery is contraindicated.
  • SRS provides comparable tumor control to surgery with improved safety profiles for select meningioma cases.
