Journal ArticleDOI
Radiosurgery for brain metastases: relationship of dose and pattern of enhancement to local control.
Cheng-Ying Shiau,Cheng-Ying Shiau,Penny K. Sneed,Hui-Kuo G. Shu,Kathleen R. Lamborn,Michael W. McDermott,Susan M. Chang,Peter J.C.M. Nowak,Paula L. Petti,Vernon Smith,Lynn J. Verhey,Maria Ho,Elaine Park,William M. Wara,Philip H. Gutin,David A. Larson +15 more
TL;DR: A minimum prescribed radiosurgical dose > or = 18 Gy yields excellent local control of brain metastases and the influence of pattern of enhancement on local control, a new finding in this retrospective analysis, needs to be confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose conformity of gamma knife radiosurgery and risk factors for complications.
Jean L. Nakamura,Lynn J. Verhey,Vernon Smith,Paula L. Petti,Kathleen R. Lamborn,David A. Larson,William M. Wara,Michael W. McDermott,Penny K. Sneed +8 more
TL;DR: Gamma Knife radiosur surgery achieves much more conformal dose distributions than those reported for conventional linac radiosurgery and somewhat more conformic dose distributions more than sophisticated linac radiourgery techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential-pencil-beam dose calculations for charged particles
TL;DR: Isodose plots were generated from three-dimensional dose calculations using Monte Carlo, DPB, and standard ray-tracing methods for a 4-cm modulated 150-MeV proton beam incident on both homogenous and heterogeneous phantoms to indicate multiple-scattering effects are well modeled by the DPB algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charged particle irradiation of chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the base of skull and cervical spine: the lawrence berkeley laboratory experience

TL;DR: Forty-five consecutive patients with chordoma or chondrosarcoma at the base of skull or cervical spine were treated at the University of California Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (UCLBL) andUniversity of California School of Medicine, San Francisco (UCSF) between November 1977 and October 1986.
Journal Article
Gamma knife radiosurgery for malignant melanoma brain metastases.
Seung Sk,Penny K. Sneed,Mike McDermott,Shu Hk,Leong Sp,S. M. Chang,Paula L. Petti,Smith,Lynn J. Verhey,William M. Wara,Theodore L. Phillips,David A. Larson +11 more
TL;DR: Gamma knife radiosurgery is effective and should be considered among various management strategies for melanoma patients, and total intracranial tumor volume appears to be of greater prognostic significance than the absolute number of metastases treated.
