Radiosurgery for Tumors in the Body: Clinical Experience Using a New Method
Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 63-74 - 1998
Local Control of Large Primary Brain or Metastasis Treated by Leksell γ-Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery: An Analysis of Dose-Volume Considerations, Local Control, and Complications
Tập 2 - Trang 141-152 - 1999
Background: It has been shown that as the target volume of a given lesion treated by radiosurgery increases, there is a geometric increase in the amount of normal brain tissue that receives a significant radiotherapy dose. In order to limit toxicity to normal brain tissue as target volume increases, the dose prescribed to the target volume is lowered, decreasing the theoretical probability of loc......
Considerations of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Patients with Dentures
Tập 2 - Trang 89-93 - 1999
Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) using the Gill–Thomas–Cosman (GTC) repeat localizer allows for accurate and reproducible daily setup. The formation of a custom dental plate presents a challenge. We present the problems of utilizing this technique in patients with dentures. Twenty-seven patients were referred for fractionated SRT:15 patients had natural teeth and 12 patients had dentures. The comfo......
Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Patients with Single Brain Metastasis
Tập 1 - Trang 79-85 - 1998
The efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) was evaluated for patients with single brain metastasis from extracranial primary cancer and the outcome was compared with that of external whole brain irradiation (WBI) alone or with surgical resection. Between January 1976 and December 1996, 225 patients with single brain metastases were treated in the Department of Therapeutic Radiology—Radiation ......
Reproducibility of Frame Positioning for Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Tập 2 - Trang 57-64 - 1999
Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy is a useful new approach for treating a number of intracranial neoplasms including meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, and recurrent gliomas. For the majority of these we employ a conventional fractionation scheme of 180 cGy per fraction for 25 to 30 fractions, using a modified Gill–Thomas–Cosman (GTC) relocatable frame to accommodate fr......
Two-Staged Radiosurgical Treatment of Large Arteriovenous Malformations
Tập 3 - Trang 105-111 - 2000
When the size of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in any one direction is more than 4 cm, an attempt is made to treat it in two stages, separated by 6 months. The first stage treats one-half of the AVM and the remainder is treated in the second stage, thus giving rise to a higher prescription dose for each stage. Therefore, the AVM, as a whole, could be given a higher dose than if the entire AV......
Stereotactic Radiosurgery Versus Microsurgical Resection for the Initial Treatment of Metastatic Cancer to the Brain
Tập 2 - Trang 1-5 - 1999
The use of Stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of intracranial metastases from systemic cancer has grown considerably in the last few years. Review of the literature, however, reveals a paucity of well-controlled studies to substantiate this expansion. We conducted this study to address the issue of survival after treatment with either stereotactic radiosurgery or surgical resection. Whole......
Technical Aspects of LINAC Radiosurgery for the Treatment of Small Functional Targets
Tập 1 - Trang 115-127 - 1998
Recently the use of stereotactic radiosurgery to treat functional disorders such as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and intractable pain has been reported in the literature. In such applications, a large single dose is typically delivered to an extremely small (<0.05 cm3) target volume. The purpose of this work is to investigate whether the dosimetric and imaging characteristics of radiosurgery tre......
