BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stereotactic radiosurgery with an adapted linear accelerator (linac-SRS) is an established therapy option for brain metastases, benign brain tumors, and arteriovenous malformations. We intended to investigate whether the dosim...
BACKGROUND: Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are benign tumors that can lead to hearing loss, balance issues, and tinnitus. Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKS) is a common treatment for VS, aimed at halting tumor growth and preserving neurological function. Ac...
