The Remarkable Evolution of Radiosurgery Over 10 Years

Description

Discover the Groundbreaking Advances in Radiosurgery from the Last Decade.
Explore the latest research on improvements in treatment accuracy, dose calculation algorithms, radiobiology, frame stability, and Vantage precision.

AGENDA

Introductions: Mr Neil Kitchen

Presentation by Mr Ian Paddick: An overview of the research on Gamma Knife (GK) treatment conducted at the Queen Square Radiosurgery Centre (QSRC) over the past decade. Focus areas include advancements in treatment delivery accuracy, dose calculation algorithms, radiobiology, frame stability, and Vantage technology. Also covered will be treatment quality parameters, the risks of secondary cancer from SRS, and findings from platform studies.

Case Study Presentation: Mr Patrick Grover and Dr Michael Kosmin present a complex cases.

Discussion by Mr Ian Paddick: Analysis of challenging SRS cases treated in the last 10 years, focusing on multiple metastatic cases and their total brain dose, including examples of long-term survivors.

Live Discussion and Q&A: Led by Mr Neil Kitchen and Dr Michael Kosmin

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This educational talk demonstrates how QSRC has become a hub for cutting-edge research in Radiosurgery. Gain invaluable insights into the clinical benefits of Gamma Knife treatment and its impact on cases that might have otherwise been prescribed whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT).
