Reirradiation with stereotactic radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a widely used treatment modality for vestibular schwannomas due to its non-invasive nature and high tumor control rates. However, some patients experience tumor progression after treatment. In this setting, reirradiation with SRS represents a potential treatment option. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the evidence for reirradiation of vestibular schwannomas with SRS.

Methods

This systematic literature review and meta-analysis investigates the efficacy and safety of reirradiation with SRS for vestibular schwannoma and was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).

Results

A total of 806 studies were screened and 35 included, comprising 394 reirra
