Objective: This study aimed to evaluate local control (LC) of tumors, patient overall survival (OS), and the safety of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for esophageal cancer brain metastases (EBMs).

Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from 15 International Radiosurgery Research Foundation facilities encompassing 67 patients with 185 EBMs managed using SRS between January 2000 and May 2022. The median patient age was 63 years, with a male predominance (92.

The techniques used for treatment of intracranial aneurysms have progressed dramatically over the decades. The introduction of modern endovascular techniques and the continued refinement of progressively less invasive neurosurgical approaches have contributed to steadily improving clinical outcomes. Moreover, innovations such as flow-diverting stents have achieved dramatic success and have gained rapid widespread adoption.
