Radiosurgery practice often involves multidisciplinary teams. This study surveyed International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS) members, revealing average patient care involves 17.3 specialist hours.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Practice Analysis

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery is a complex procedure requiring specialized expertise.
  • Understanding current practice patterns is crucial for quality improvement and standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess current practice patterns in stereotactic radiosurgery.
  • To provide a benchmark for radiosurgeons to compare their practices against.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was distributed to members of the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS).
  • Data were collected from physicians at 52 facilities, covering over 13,000 treated patients.

Main Results:

  • Most surveyed physicians practice within a multidisciplinary team setting.

  • An average of 17.3 specialist-hours were dedicated per patient on the day of radiosurgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • The findings offer insights into contemporary stereotactic radiosurgery practice norms.
    • Radiosurgeons can use this data to evaluate and potentially refine their own practice standards.
