Outcome of Linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformation: the St. Luke’s Medical Center experience, 2003-2008
Complete surgical excision of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) eliminates any future risk of hemorrhage and is curative. However, patient selection and location of AVMs play an important role in reducing mortality and morbidity.
Inclusion of the Ipsilateral Subventricular Zone (SVZ) in the irradiated field for Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) : a preliminary study
The neural stem cells of the SVZ of the brain have are capable of postnatal neurogenesis. GBM tumors also possess these stem cells, which may be derived from the SVZ. GBM confers a poor prognosis due to the possible reason that therapies fail to eradicate the resistant stem cells in the SVZ.Results vary from studies that investigate irradiation of the SVZ.
