Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a common treatment for movement disorders.
  • Radiation therapy (RT) is a standard treatment for malignancies.
  • Simultaneous treatment with DBS and RT is increasingly common in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety of radiation therapy (RT) in patients with implanted deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices.
  • To address the scarcity of literature and clear guidelines for managing patients undergoing both treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Case follow-up of two Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with DBS undergoing RT.
  • Review of existing literature on RT safety in patients with DBS.

Main Results:

  • No adverse events were observed in the patients during or after RT.
  • No malfunctioning of the deep brain stimulation (DBS) system was detected.
  • Findings align with previous limited reports on combined treatment safety.

Conclusions:

  • Documenting experience with combined RT and DBS is crucial due to a lack of established safety guidelines.
  • Multidisciplinary collaboration among neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, clinical oncologists, and neurologists is recommended for optimal patient management.
