SBRT is feasible, with minimal grade ≥3 toxicity. The overall FFLP rate for all patients was 64.8%, comparable to rates with external beam radiotherapy. This shorter treatment course can be delivered without delay in adjuvant systemic therapy.
Single fraction radiosurgery was found to be clinically effective for the treatment of benign extramedullary spinal neoplasms. Although surgical extirpation remains the primary treatment option for most benign spinal tumors, radiosurgery was demonstrated to have short-term clinical benefits for the treatment of such lesions. The long-term efficacy of spinal radiosurgery for such tumors will be determined with longer follow-up periods. Its role in patients with neurofibromatosis will also be further defined with greater clinical experience.
SBRT is feasible and safe with minimal toxicities for treatment of rSCCHN patients with prior radiation therapy deemed to be poor candidates for re-irradiation by conventional means.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
