    • Covers the basics of radiosurgery, including fundamentals of radiobiology, dose tolerances, and particle therapy, as well as how and when to utilize radiosurgery in patients with skull base tumors.
    • Provides a pragmatic and structured approach to more than 50 pathologies along various regions of the skull base.
    • Includes tumor treatment plans for various pathologies, including vestibular and facial schwannomas, pituitary adenomas, meningiomas, chordomas, trigeminal neuralgia, metastases, and more.
    • Presents cases based on real patient scenarios, with thorough descriptions of planning, dosages, outcomes, and follow-up images.
    • Discusses the dose tolerance of surrounding structures, which influences the overall treatment plan.
    An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
