Chordomas and chondrosarcomas are rare, slow-glowing, locally aggressive tumors with high recurrence rates. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an important management option for patients with recurrent or residual chordomas and chondrosarcomas. Glomus jugulare tumor are rare highly vascularized tumors that arise from the paraganglionic structures of the glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves. Because of their highly vascular nature and surgically formidable anatomic location, curative resection often proves challenging. SRS can be used as an up-front treatment or as an additional treatment for patients with recurrent or residual glomus jugulare tumor after surgical resection.
脊索瘤和软骨肉瘤是罕见的、生长缓慢、局部侵袭性强、复发率高的肿瘤。立体定向放射外科（SRS）是复发性或残留脊索瘤和软骨肉瘤患者的重要治疗选择。颈静脉球瘤是一种罕见的高度血管化肿瘤，起源于舌咽神经和迷走神经的副神经节结构。由于其高度血管化的性质和手术上难以处理的位置，根治性切除往往具有挑战性。SRS 可作为手术切除后复发性或残留颈静脉球瘤患者的一线治疗或辅助治疗。
