This study details a stereotactic radiotherapy technique using a linear accelerator for intracranial lesions. The method achieved good clinical results for various conditions, including gliomas and arteriovenous malformations.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiotherapy is a precise method for treating intracranial lesions.
  • Optimizing radiation delivery is crucial for maximizing therapeutic effects while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a stereotactic radiotherapy technique for intracranial lesions.
  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes and therapeutic effects of this technique.

Main Methods:

  • Target localization using stereotactic methods.
  • Irradiation delivered via 9-17 non-coplanar arcs using a 4 MV linear accelerator.
  • High doses (10-50 Gy) administered in 1-2 sessions.

Main Results:

  • Successfully treated 65 patients since 1982 with a minimum 6-month follow-up.
  • Achieved good clinical results in low-grade gliomas, acoustic neuromas, and arteriovenous malformations.
  • Therapeutic effects correlated with time elapsed and radiation dose.

Conclusions:

  • The described stereotactic radiotherapy technique is effective for selected intracranial lesions.
  • Dose and treatment parameters can be tailored to specific pathologies and lesion volumes.
  • This approach offers a viable treatment option for various neurological conditions.
