Objective: To explore the results of the Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for World Health Organization (WHO) grade I intracranial meningiomas after surgical resection.
Methods: A total of 130 patients who were pathologically diagnosed as having WHO grade I meningiomas and who underwent post-operative GKRS were retrospectively reviewed in a single center.
Results: Of the 130 patients, 51 patients (39.
Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate the long-term outcomes of primary versus postoperative Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for benign meningiomas.
Methods: Three hundred and forty meningioma patients underwent GKRS were retrospectively reviewed. Patients in the postoperative GKRS group were matched to those in the primary GKRS group, in a 1:1 ratio.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on tumor regrowth after gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) in patients with nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs), analyzing data from 369 patients with a median age of 45.2 years and varying tumor sizes.* -
- It reported a 6.5% rate of tumor regrowth after treatment, identifying risk factors such as parasellar invasion and low radiation doses (less than 12 Gy) that contributed to this regrowth, with average regrowth occurring around 86 months post-GKRS.* -
- Repeat GKRS was performed on 12 patients, showing a 58.3% success rate in shrinking tumors, while overall tumor control rates after repeat GKRS were
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to review outcomes of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for prolactinoma and report our experience with it. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed the patient database in our center and identified 24 patients with prolactinoma who underwent GKRS from 1993 to 2016. Complete endocrine, clinical, and radiological data were available on these individuals before and after GKRS.
