Stereotactic radiotherapy for vestibular schwannoma
BACKGROUND: Vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas) are common benign tumours that arise from the Schwann cells of the vestibular nerve. Management options include observation with neuroradiological follow-up, microsurgical resection and stereotactic ...

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy: A Review
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) combines the challenge of meeting the stringent dosimetric requirements of stereotactic radiosurgery with that of accounting for the physiological movement of tumour and normal tissue.

Quantification of geometric uncertainties in image guided radiotherapy [PDF]
The aim of this thesis is to determine if the geometric uncertainties that are introduced into the image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) process by Cone Beam CT (CBCT) based IGRT equipment are sufficiently small that they do not pose a significant risk of ...

Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Oligometastasis [PDF]
Oligometastatic disease is defined as “a condition with a few metastases arising from tumors that have not acquired a potential for widespread metastases.” Its behavior suggests a transitional malignant state somewhere between localized and metastatic cancer.

Background: Numerous studies have reported about good tumor control with both stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) for residual and recurrent craniopharyngiomas, but no studies have reported on the appropriate use of different types of radiation modalities.

Stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy for resected brain metastases: current pattern of care in the Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Radiotherapy Working Group of the German Association for Radiation Oncology (DEGRO). [PDF]
PURPOSE Preoperative stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of brain metastases may achieve similar local control and better leptomeningeal control rates than postoperative fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) in patients treated with elective ...
