Gamma Knife treatment for meningiomas can be used as a complementary or primary treatment for surgical residual meningiomas and deeply located meningiomas with better therapeutic effects.
Meningiomas are the more common intracranial tumors, second only to gliomas, and most of them are benign tumors. For meningiomas with surgical residuals and recurrence, Gamma Knife therapy has a better therapeutic effect and is an important complementary means of comprehensive treatment for meningiomas.
Besides, Gamma Knife Radiation Therapy is a safe and effective treatment for patients with deep meningiomas, high surgical risk, old age or those who refuse surgical treatment. It has been mentioned in the literature that the effectiveness of Gamma Knife treatment for meningiomas can be more than 90%, but its effectiveness is also affected by indicators such as age and tumor size.
Patients who have or suspect meningiomas are advised to go to the hospital in time, and should consult with a medical professional whether to choose Gamma Knife treatment or not.
