Radiosurgery, a 40-year-old concept, is now widely used with 3 main methods. It effectively treats various conditions like vascular malformations and tumors with high success rates and minimal hospital stays.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Context:

  • Radiosurgery has evolved over 40 years, with clinical application spanning the last 25 years.
  • Three primary techniques have been developed: Gamma Knife, heavy charged particles, and linear accelerators.
  • The widespread adoption of radiosurgery globally underscores its clinical significance.

Purpose:

  • To review the established methods and primary indications for radiosurgery.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of radiosurgery in clinical practice.
  • To project future advancements and patient treatment trends in radiosurgery.

Summary:

  • Radiosurgery employs focused irradiation via Gamma Knife, heavy charged particles, or linear accelerators.
  • Key indications include vascular malformations (44%), benign intracranial tumors (33%), malignant tumors (21%), and functional disorders (2%).

  • Treatment achieves 80-95% control or liquidation of pathological lesions with minimal hospitalization (1-2 days), negligible mortality, and low morbidity.

    • Impact:

    • Radiosurgery offers a minimally invasive treatment option with significant efficacy for a range of neurological conditions.
    • The procedure boasts a high success rate in lesion control and a favorable safety profile.
    • Continued technical advancements are anticipated to further enhance radiosurgery's capabilities and patient reach.
