Meningiomas are the second most common primary tumor of the brain. Gross-total resection remains the preferred treatment if achievable with minimal morbidity. For incompletely resected or inoperable benign meningiomas, 3D conformal external-beam radiation therapy can provide durable local tumor control in...
AA-PET (MET-PET and FET-PET) can be used for gross tumour volume (GTV) delineation in brain gliomas and for the differentiation between treatment-related changes (pseudo-progression, pseudo-regression) and residual/recurrent tumour. There are some data showing that MET-PET and (DOTATOC)-PET ...

Radiotherapy is, with surgery, one of the main therapeutic treatment strategies for meningiomas. No prospective study has defined a consensus for the delineation of target volumes for meningioma radiotherapy. Therefore, target volume definition is mainly based on information from retrospective studies that...
Techniques using three-dimensional treatment planning and intensity-modulated radiation therapy may be advantageous for treating optic nerve meningiomas or gliomas (Figures 31-10and31-11). All critical structures of the eye should be identified at the time of CT simulation and volume delineation and ...
Thus, distinguishing between recurrent GBM and RN has clinical importance in deciding the subsequent management; recurrence indicates treatment failure and requires the use of additional anticancer therapies, whereas RN is treated conservatively. Multiple studies have made efforts to distinguish GBM ...
