Journal ArticleDOI

John C. Flickinger,Douglas Kondziolka,L. Dade Lunsford,Robert J. Coffey,Michael L. Goodman,Edward G. Shaw,W. Robert Hudgins,Richard L. Weiner,Griffith R. Harsh,Penny K. Sneed,David A. Larson +10 more
TL;DR: Radiosurgery is effective in controlling solitary brain metastases with low morbidity and further study is needed to better define optimum treatment parameters for radiosurgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postoperative irradiation for subtotally resected meningiomas: A retrospective analysis of 140 patients treated from 1967 to 1990
TL;DR: Evaluated patients treated at the University of California, San Francisco, from 1967 to 1990 found subtotal resection combined with precise treatment planning techniques and adjuvant radiation therapy can achieve results comparable to those of total resection.
Journal ArticleDOI
American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) and American College of Radiology (ACR) practice guideline for the performance of stereotactic body radiation therapy.
Louis Potters,Brian D. Kavanagh,James M. Galvin,James M. Hevezi,Nora A. Janjan,David A. Larson,Minesh P. Mehta,Samuel Ryu,Michael L. Steinberg,Robert Timmerman,James S. Welsh,Seth A. Rosenthal +11 more
TL;DR: These guidelines are an educational tool designed to assist practitioners in providing appropriate radiologic care for patients and are not intended, nor should they be used, to establish a legal standard of care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival benefit of hyperthermia in a prospective randomized trial of brachytherapy boost +/- hyperthermia for glioblastoma multiforme.
Penny K. Sneed,Paul R. Stauffer,Michael W. McDermott,Chris J. Diederich,Kathleen R. Lamborn,Michael D. Prados,Susan M. Chang,Keith A. Weaver,Laura Spry,Mary Malec,Sharon Lamb,Brigid Voss,Richard L. Davis,William M. Wara,David A. Larson,Theodore L. Phillips,Philip H. Gutin +16 more
TL;DR: Adjuvant interstitial brain HT, given before and after brachytherapy boost, after conventional radiotherapy significantly improves survival of patients with focal glioblastoma, with acceptable toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiosurgery for brain metastases: is whole brain radiotherapy necessary?
Penny K. Sneed,Kathleen R. Lamborn,Julie M. Forstner,Michael W. McDermott,Susan M. Chang,Elaine Park,Philip H. Gutin,Theodore L. Phillips,William M. Wara,David A. Larson +9 more
TL;DR: The omission of WBRT in the initial management of patients treated with RS for up to 4 brain metastases does not appear to compromise survival or intracranial control allowing for salvage therapy as indicated.
