Purpose As part of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Working Group on
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy, tumor control probability (TCP) after stereotactic …

Importance Owing to the proximity to critical neurologic structures, treatment options for
brainstem metastases (BSM) are limited, and BSM growth can cause acute morbidity or …

Purpose To pool data across multiple institutions internationally and report on the
cumulative experience of brainstem stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Methods and Materials …

Object Because brainstem metastases are not deemed resectable, stereotactic radiosurgery
(SRS) is the only treatment modality expected to achieve a radical cure. The authors …

Introduction: For intracranial metastases, the role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or
fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy is well recognized. Areas covered: Historically, the first …

The safety and efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the brainstem is questioned by
some over concern of violating historical brainstem SRS dose tolerance. Our purpose was to …

Abstract Despite 2-staged stereotactic radiosurgery (2-SSRS) has been reported to provide
patients with improved survival and limited toxicity, 2-SSRS for brainstem metastases (BSM) …

Brain metastases are common and the prognosis for patients with multiple brain metastases
treated with whole brain radiotherapy is limited. As systemic disease control continues to …

Abstract Background Brainstem metastases (BSMs) represent a significant treatment
challenge. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is often used to treat BSM. We report our …

Background Although stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an effective modality in the
treatment of brainstem metastases (BSM), radiation-induced toxicity remains a critical …
