In our experience, RS and particularly GKS, using standard, yet low doses of radiation, appear to be a safe and effective therapeutic option in the management of these rare tumors. The results as from our systematic review are also encouraging with satisfactory rates of clinical stabilization and/or improvement and high rate of tumor control. Complications are infrequent and mostly transient.
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.
