Clinical Trial
Five-fraction Gamma Knife radiosurgery using the Extend relocatable system for benign neoplasms close to optic pathways.
To evaluate the precision of hypofractionated radiosurgery using the Gamma Knife Extend relocatable system in patients with benign neoplasms located close to the optic pathways. ⋯ The Extend system provides good repositioning accuracy and adequate immobilization of the patient's head for multisession treatment. The clinical and radiological outcomes of a series of 12 patients who underwent 59 irradiation fractions were excellent.
