Management of Patients with ≥4 Brain Metastases Using Stereotactic Radiosurgery Boost after Whole Brain Irradiation

Tumori Journal, 2014
Brain metastases are a prevalent consequence of systemic cancer, and patients suffering from brain metastases usually present with multiple metastatic lesions. An overwhelming majority of the available literature assessing the role of stereotactic radiosurgery in brain metastasis management includes patients with up to 4 metastases.

Boost Gamma Knife Radiosurgery in the Treatment of Primary Glial Tumors

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1993
By sheer weight of numbers, patients with malignant glial neoplasms of the astrocytoma series (glioblastoma multiforme, anaplastic astrocytoma, astrocytoma grade 3 or grade 4, depending upon the grading system), and to a lesser extent, patients with high-grade ependymomas, oligodendrogliomas or other primary brain tumors, have represented a significant

Boost radiosurgery as a strategy after failure of initial management of pediatric primitive neuroectodermal tumors

Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2009
Object The aim in this study was to determine the outcomes of boost stereotactic radiosurgery, specifically Gamma Knife surgery (GKS), for recurrent primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) in children in whom initial multimodality management had failed.

Boost Gamma Knife Radiosurgery During Multimodality Management of Medulloblastoma/PNET Tumors

2012
Medulloblastoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are the most common malignant tumors of the central nervous system in children accounting for at least 20% of all childhood brain tumors (Kleihues and Cavenee (eds) Pathology and genetics of tumours of the nervous system. International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, 2000).

Population-based outcomes of boost versus salvage radiosurgery for brain metastases after whole brain radiotherapy

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2013
We conducted a retrospective population-based study to examine the survival outcomes in patients with brain metastases treated with salvage stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), compared to boost SRS, after previous whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT).From January 2000 to June 2011, 191 patients treated with WBRT and SRS for brain metastases in British Columbia

A phase II trial of stereotactic radiosurgery boost following surgical resection for solitary brain metastases

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2006
1552 Background: At present there is no standard of care for adjuvant therapy following resection of solitary brain metastases. The objective of this study was to determine the local control, survival, patterns of relapse and the incidence of brain injury following a surgery-stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) combined therapy approach while avoiding ...

Propensity-score matched pair comparison of whole brain with simultaneous in-field boost radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2013
To compare lesional stereotactic radiosurgery to whole brain (WBRT) radiotherapy with simultaneous in-field boost for brain metastases in terms of overall survival.A retrospective review was performed on two institutional databases of 500 patients diagnosed with brain metastatic disease who received either stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS, n = 381) or ...

SU‐FF‐T‐348: Optimize Spike Patterns For An Embedded Boost Technique For Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

Medical Physics, 2006
Purpose: With the Gamma Knife Automatic Positioning System, high dose spikes can be placed inside a target using 4‐mm shots to boost the central target dose without affecting adjacent normal brain sparing. Potential applications of the technique include target boost when nearby critical structures such as optical structure limit the peripheral dose or ...
