| Core Tip |
Radiosurgery for pilocytic astrocytomas may be utilized as part of initial management, as adjuvant therapy, or for the salvage of recurrences. Radiosurgery offers a convenient procedure by a condensed treatment schedule with rapid recovery. An improved toxicity profile may be achieved through optimal normal tissue sparing. Accurate setup verification under stereotactic immobilization and image guidance may be achieved, and the procedure is convenient with regards to staff and facility workload. |
