Long-term outcomes of stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of benign spinal tumours

  • This long-term investigation of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the treatment of benign spinal tumours demonstrates long-term control and may provide an alternative to surgical resection.

Why this matters

    Despite SRS being the standard of care for benign intracranial tumours, little is known about its long-term outcomes.
