Purpose: We present our results in the treatment of brain metastases (BM) from ovarian cancer using Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS) over the last 25 years in a single institution.
Background: Gamma Knife Radiosurgery has become increasingly important in the management of brain metastases from ovarian cancer due to improving results from systemic disease and the need for better outcomes.
Material And Methods: The medical records of 9 patients with brain metastases from ovarian cancer treated with GKRS between 1993 and 2018 were reviewed.
Background: Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare cancer accounting for less than 3% of primary brain and central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Tissues involved include the brain parenchyma, leptomeninges, eyes, and spinal cord. High-dose methotrexate (MTX) is the gold standard for newly diagnosed PCNSL.

Methods: This is a retrospective clinical evaluation of 20 patients with primary tumors of the pineal region treated with GKS from November 1994 through August 2003. There were 13 germ cell tumors, two pineoblastomas, two low-grade gliomas, one primitive neuroectodermal tumor, one teratoma, and one pineocytoma.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective review is to evaluate our experience using radiosurgery in the management of craniopharyngiomas.
Materials And Methods: Fourteen patients, 6 males and 8 females, ages ranging from 3 to 44 years of age, were treated with radiosurgery from February 1994 through December 2000 for primary or recurrent craniopharyngioma. There were two adults and 12 children.
