Despite the paucity of pertinent data, the results of our meta-analysis suggest that SRS exhibits effective tumor control rates in patients with cystic VS.
The goal is to decompress the spinal cord, stabilize the spine, and create adequate separation between the neural elements and the tumor for SRS to achieve durable tumor control.
SRS with 99mTc-HYNICTOC was perform for primary tumor localization, and revealed liver and paraaortic lymph nodes metastases, but no sign of primary tumor location.
The tumor volume estimated using the exponential fitting equation demonstrated high positive correlation with the actual volume calculated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as tested by Pearson correlation coefficient (0.9).Transient progression of PAs post-CK SRS was seen in 62.5% of the patients receiving CK SRS, and it was not predictive of eventual volume regression or progression.
