Purpose: Excellent clinical treatment results for various brain lesions by stereotactic irradiation, including both Gamma Knife (GK) stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and linear accelerator-based (LINAC) fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) such as Novalis, have been reported. Novalis is equipped ...
Gamma knife radiosurgery is also an effective treatment option for multiple brain metastases - the low dose to healthy tissue means that treatment can be repeated when required. This means that for many patients they can avoid the option of whole brain radiotherapy. ...

Currently, the JPMC Neuro Trauma Unit is the only place in the country which is providing the latest technology and treatment regarding neurological and surgical issues, with machines such as Cyberknife, Gamma Knife and radiotherapy at the hospital, Dr Rehman stated. Ovet 30,000 people suffer from...
The aim of this study was to confirm whether patients with sacral chordoma benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy and to determine the optimal photon radiotherapy module for comprehensive treatment.Chordoma is a rare slow-growing neoplasm arisen from cellular remnants of the notochord. About 50% occur in...

Objective To evaluate the early effect and radiation response of body gamma knife in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.Methods 41 patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)were treated with home-manufactured rotating type stereotactic gamma-ray whole-body therapeutic syst...
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a type of sarcoma, and sarcomas have traditionally been considered radiotherapy- and chemotherapy-resistant tumors.[1] Brain metastasis (BM) of MPNST is an extremely rare condition and these patients typically have a short life expectancy. The impor...
Our purpose was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS) treated with Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GKSRS) with modern techniques, with attention to posttreatment tumor growth dynamics, dosimetric predictors, and late toxicities. Methods and Materials One ...
The first patient treated with the Gamma Knife suffered from trigeminal neuralgia. The principles of stereotactic localization were combined with cobalt radiation to focus the gamma beam to a single focal spot. Subsequent technologies have been modifications of the same concepts with and without ...
