Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Acromegaly [PDF]
The role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in acromegaly is being assessed.We evaluated the efficacy and safety of SRS for patients with acromegaly. Prognostic factors related to outcomes were also analyzed.This was a retrospective study of patients treated with SRS at the University of Virginia; the data were collected from 1989 to 2012, with a ...

Stereotactic radiosurgery for meningiomas [PDF]
Meningiomas are benign tumors attached to the dura that typically have a slow growth rate. After gliomas, they are the most common primary tumor of the brain. They are ideal radiobiological targets because single-fraction radiation has a high biologically effective dose.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Glioblastoma [PDF]
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults and one of the most aggressive of all human cancers. GBM tumors are highly infiltrative and relatively resistant to conventional therapies. Aggressive management of GBM using a combination of surgical resection, followed by fractionated radiotherapy and chemotherapy has been ...
