| drS786 Total Posts: 54 | Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 02:43 am ndications: Stereotactic radiosurgery may or may not be appropriate for a condition. It may be used as the primary treatment or recommended in addition to other treatments that are needed. Only a treating neurosurgeon who operates radiosurgery equipment can make the evaluation as to whether someone can be treated. A neurosurgeon must always be present during treatment and should work with a radiation oncologist when the brain is being targeted. Some of the most common indications for treatment are: * Arteriovenous Malformations * All benign brain tumors including: o Acoustic Neuromas o Meningiomas o Pineal and Pituitary Tumors * All Malignant Brain Tumors including: o Glial Tumors and Astrocytomas o Low grade tumors * Metastatic Brain Tumors * Functional disorders including: o Trigeminal Neuralgia o Essential Tremor o Parkinson's Tremor/Rigidity Current research areas include epilepsy, headaches and neuro-psycho conditions. |
