Correlation between pre-treatment growth rate and tumor control of vestibular schwannomas after gamma knife radiosurgery in the dutch database
Introduction: Prognostic factors of tumor control after Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS) for vestibular schwannoma (VS) are largely unknown. Recently, it has been reported that the growth rate of VS before treatment is indicative of the chance that radiosurgery achieves tumor control. Such findings may have important implications for treatment strategies and may lead to advise for either microsurgery or higher marginal doses for fast growing tumors. However, studies on this important aspect are limited and show conflicting results. Moreover, the available studies are hampered by methodological... Mehr ...
