LINAC-based stereotactic radiosurgery versus hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy delivered in 3 or 5 fractions for vestibular schwannomas: comparative assessment from a single institution

ConclusionSRS and hypo-FSRT with 3 or 5 fractions provided a high rate of local control with no significant differences between treatment schedules. SRS is a well-documented radiation technique for VS and is the recommendation for small- to medium-sized tumors. This report demonstrates excellent long-term outcomes after hypo-FSRT; this regimen can be delivered safely and is an alternative for selected patients.
