Abstract:
PURPOSE: Meningiomas have an excellent survival prognosis, and radiotherapy (RT) is a central component of interdisciplinary treatment. During treatment planning, the definition of the target volume remains challenging using MR and CT imaging alone. This is the first study to analyze the impact of additional PET-imaging on local control (LC) and overall survival (OS) after high-precision RT. METHODS: We analyzed 339 meningiomas treated between 2000 and 2018. For analyses, we divided the patients...     »
