Stereotactic radiosurgery is a frequently performed procedure for patients with benign intracranial tumors. Benign tumors are good candidates for radiosurgery because they are generally non-invasive, are well visualized by magnetic resonance imaging, and their slow rate of proliferation makes conventional radiation dose fractionation unnecessary. Stereotactic radiosurgery is now an important part of both neurosurgical and radiation oncology training. This chapter will review the indications and results of radiosurgery for patients with intracranial meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas, and pituitary adenomas having single-fraction radiosurgery at the Mayo Clinic since 1990.
立体定向放射外科手术是颅内良性肿瘤患者经常接受的一种治疗手段。良性肿瘤是放射外科手术的理想治疗对象，因为它们通常不具有侵袭性，通过磁共振成像能清晰显示，而且其缓慢的增殖速度使得传统的分次放射剂量治疗没有必要。立体定向放射外科手术现在是神经外科和放射肿瘤学培训的重要组成部分。本章将回顾自1990年以来在梅奥诊所接受单次分割立体定向放射外科手术的颅内脑膜瘤、前庭神经鞘瘤和垂体腺瘤患者的手术适应症及治疗结果。
