Article Synopsis
- - Recent studies indicate a strong link between Biologically Effective Doses (BED) and treatment outcomes in stereotactic radiosurgery, but previous BED calculations used a simplified model that ignored the complexities of dose delivery.
- - This study aims to compare these simplified BED calculations with a more complex model that takes into account the timing and spatial distribution of dose delivery and accounts for how sub-lethal damage repairs over time.
- - Results show that the simplified model tends to overestimate BED values, particularly in larger and more complex tumors, highlighting that more refined BED distributions could lead to better predictions of clinical outcomes.
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) represents a minimally invasive and valuable alternative for jugular foramen schwannomas (JFS), both as upfront and/or adjuvant treatment (in hybrid approaches).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of our cases treated at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) from June 2010 to October 2023. Eleven patients underwent SRS, among whom three had prior surgery, two in our center in the frame of a planned combined approach and one in another center.
Purpose: to evaluate an SRT approach in patients with at least 10 lesions at the time of BM initial diagnosis.
Methods: This is a monocentric prospective cohort of patients treated by SRT, followed by a brain MRI every two months. Subsequent SRT could be delivered in cases of new BMs during follow-up.
Introduction: The field of neurosurgery faces challenges with the increasing involvement of other medical specialties in areas traditionally led by neurosurgeons. This paper examines the implications of this development for neurosurgical practice and patient care, with a focus on specialized areas like pain management, peripheral nerve surgery, and stereotactic radiosurgery.
Research Question: To assess the implications of the expanded scope of other specialties for neurosurgical practice and to consider the response of the EANS Frontiers in Neurosurgery Committee to these challenges.
