    This study introduces a novel radiosurgery technique using multiple arc irradiations for brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Preliminary results show steep dose gradients, enabling effective treatment of complex cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Medical Physics

    Background:

    • Advanced radiosurgery techniques are crucial for treating complex brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
    • Precise radiation delivery is essential to minimize damage to surrounding healthy brain tissue.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel radiosurgical technique utilizing multiple arc irradiations.
    • To evaluate the preliminary efficacy and dosimetric properties of this technique in patients with nonresectable brain tumors and AVMs.

    Main Methods:

    • A radiosurgical technique involving multiple arc irradiations was developed.
    • The technique uses a Varian 4 MV linear accelerator with the target fixed at the rotational isocenter.
    • Patient rotation around a vertical axis allows for repeated arc irradiations from different angular positions.

    Main Results:

    • The technique achieves very steep dose gradients at the target volume borders.
    • High radiation doses are typically delivered in two sessions.
    • Preliminary results from 47 patients with over 6 months follow-up are presented.

    Conclusions:

    • The multiple arc irradiation technique offers precise radiation delivery for brain tumors and AVMs.
    • This method allows for steep dose gradients, potentially improving therapeutic ratios.
    • Further investigation and long-term follow-up are warranted for this radiosurgical approach.
