Object: Data regarding the long-term efficacy of Gamma knife surgery on a large series of patients with low-grade gliomas is lacking. We aimed to review the outcome of patients with low-grade gliomas undergoing Gamma knife surgery at the Lars Leksell Gamma Knife Center at the University of Virginia to clarify its role in the management of these lesions.
Methods: A retrospective review of 49 patients treated between 1989 and 2003 was conducted.
The aim of this study was to assess the role of Gamma Knife radiosurgery in the complex management of cerebral astrocytomas. Out of a series with more than 1,000 brain tumor cases treated at the Lars Leksell Center for Gamma Knife Surgery, UVA, 74 astrocytomas were selected for the present review. The tumor either disappeared or decreased in 60% of grade 1 astrocytomas (n = 15), and 71% tumor control was achieved in grade 2 astrocytomas (n = 17) following radiosurgery.
