Toxicity and efficacy of Gamma Knife radiosurgery for brain metastases in melanoma patients treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy—A retrospective cohort study

Cancer Medicine, 2020
Few safety data of concurrent stereotactic radiosurgery and targeted therapy (TT) or immunotherapy (IT) are available. The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcome of melanoma patients with brain metastases (MBM) after Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS)

Gamma knife surgery in the treatment of intracanalicular vestibular schwannomas

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2020
According to the literature, gamma knife surgery (GKS) is a promising method for intracanalicular vestibular schwannoma (IVS) management, providing excellent tumor growth control rates (91%‐100%) and good hearing preservation rates (41%‐76%), but this ...

Early magnetic resonance image volumetric changes of vestibular schwannoma after Gamma Knife radiosurgery: a prospective study of 18 cases

Egyptian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2018
Background Gamma Knife radiosurgery is the principal alternative to microsurgical resection for acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas). However; its increasing use worldwide and evolution of Gamma Knife device precision and safety had led to its ...

A randomised trial to compare cognitive outcome after gamma knife radiosurgery versus whole brain radiation therapy in patients with multiple brain metastases: research protocol CAR-study B

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is increasingly applied in patients with multiple brain metastases and is expected to have less adverse effects in cognitive functioning than whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT).

The role of stereotactic radiosurgery in the multimodal management of growth hormone–secreting pituitary adenomas [PDF]

, 2010
Growth hormone (GH)–secreting pituitary adenomas represent a common source of GH excess in patients with acromegaly. Whereas surgical extirpation of the culprit lesion is considered first-line treatment, as many as 19% of patients develop recurrent ...

A linear programming approach to inverse planning in Gamma Knife radiosurgery [PDF]

Medical Physics (Lancaster), 2018
Purpose Leksell Gamma Knife® is a stereotactic radiosurgery system that allows fine‐grained control of the delivered dose distribution. We describe a new inverse planning approach that both resolves shortcomings of earlier approaches and unlocks new ...
