[Multi-session stereotactic radiotherapy in the treatment of recurrent B-cell primary intraocular lymphoma (a case report)].

The article describes the clinical observation of a 41-year-old woman suffering from non-Hodgkin's B-cell primary lymphoma of the central nervous system involving both eyes. The article features the data on 85-month follow-up, as well as description of the clinical and instrumental features of the disease. The study provides analysis of the long-term results of combined treatment of recurrent primary intraocular lymphoma including repeated courses of radiation therapy.

Radiotherapy of primary intraocular lymphoma associated with primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Aim: The aim of the study was to define indications for stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) of primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) and to evaluate the SRT efficacy and toxicity level.

Material And Methods: Twelve immunocompetent patients with PIOL associated with primary CNS lymphoma underwent SRT of the affected eye/both eyes area. Three patients underwent repeated SRT due to PIOL recurrence.

The outcomes of stereotactic radiotherapy in patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformations.

Introduction: Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are the congenital anomalies of development of cerebral vessels during the embryonic period. The conventional therapy for AVMs currently includes endovascular management, microneurosurgical resection, and stereotactic irradiation.

Material And Methods: A total of 315 patients with brain AVMs were subjected to stereotactic radiotherapy in 2005-2011.

Aim of this study is to assess the role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and radiotherapy (SRT) in management of cranial nerves schwannomas by analysis of tumor control, clinical response and variables affecting treatment outcomes. Between April 2005 and January 2009 patients with schwannomas of VIII (63), V (14) and caudal nerves (2) were treated in Burdenko Moscow Neurosurgical Institute using linear accelerator. Mean age was 49 years (13-82).

[Linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery in treatment of neurosurgical patients].

Radiation methods are essential in management of certain types of neurooncological, neurovascular and functional brain pathology. Application of stereotactic technique of irradiation allows sufficient damaging impact on target (tumor, AVM, functional structures) and maximal protection of surrounding brain tissues. Indications to radiation treatment of intracranial lesions are expanding with evolution of stereotactic methods.
