2019, Physica MedicaCitation Excerpt :Here, small changes in tumor volume or progressive extension into sensitive regions such as brain stem, optic chiasm, or other, complicate re-irradiation due to the limited radiation tolerance of such tissues [40]. Initially, very low doses were applied as re-irradiation with only modest survival [41]. With the advent of stereotactic techniques, treatment of recurrent HGG was improved and generally indicated for unifocal lesions at least six months form primary radiotherapy, with a diameter of maximally 4 cm.

2017, International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology PhysicsCitation Excerpt :They retrospectively reviewed the data from 34 patients with primary brain tumors retreated with fractionated external beam irradiation from 1977 to 1993. Their study reported only modest palliative and survival benefits with progression-free survival of 3.3 months, OS of 8.3 months, and a crude radionecrosis rate of 9% after repeat RT for recurrent CNS malignancies (5). Our results compare favorably across all metrics with previously published data, possibly because of improving radiation techniques and patient selection.
