This is an update of the Royal Adelaide Hospital radiosurgery experience between November 1993 and December 2004 comprising 165 patients with 168 intracranial lesions. Including re-treatment, there were 175 treatment episodes (163 radiosurgery and 12 stereotactic radiotherapy) at an average of 1.3 per month. The commonest lesions were acoustic neuroma (65), arteriovenous malformation (58), solitary brain metastasis (23) and meningioma (14). The clinical features, treatment details and outcome are described. Our results continue to be well within the range reported in the published work. Radiosurgery provides an elegant, non-invasive alternative to neurosurgery and conventional external beam radiotherapy for many benign and malignant brain tumours.
这是对1993年11月至2004年12月期间皇家阿德莱德医院放射外科治疗经验的更新，共纳入165例患者，有168个颅内病变。包括再次治疗，共有175个治疗疗程（163次放射外科治疗和12次立体定向放射治疗），平均每月1.3次。最常见的病变为听神经瘤（65例）、动静脉畸形（58例）、孤立性脑转移瘤（23例）和脑膜瘤（14例）。文中描述了临床特征、治疗细节及结果。我们的结果仍在已发表研究报告的范围内。对于许多良性和恶性脑肿瘤，放射外科为神经外科手术和传统外照射放疗提供了一种精巧、无创的替代方法。
