PURPOSE: To define tumor control and clinical outcomes of radiosurgery to marginal tumor doses of 12-13 Gy for unilateral acoustic neuroma patients.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: Three hundred thirteen patients with previously untreated unilateral acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas) underwent gamma knife radiosurgery between February 1991 and February 2001 with marginal tumor doses of 12-13 Gy (median, 13 Gy). Median follow-up was 24 months (maximum, 115 months; 36 patients with > or =60 months). Maximum doses were 20-26 Gy (median, 26 Gy), and treatment volumes were 0.04-21.4 mL (median, 1.1 mL).
RESULTS: The actuarial 6-year clinical tumor control rate (no requirement for surgical intervention) for the entire series was 98.6 +/- 1.1%. Two patients required tumor resection; one had a complete resection for solid tumor growth and one required partial resection for an enlarging adjacent subarachnoid cyst. Six-year actuarial rates for preservation of facial nerve function, normal trigeminal nerve function, unchanged hearing level, and useful hearing were 100%, 95.6 +/- 1.8%, 70.3 +/- 5.8%, and 78.6 +/- 5.1%, respectively. The risk of developing trigeminal neuropathy correlated with increasing tumor volume (p = 0.038).
CONCLUSIONS: Acoustic neuroma radiosurgery with doses of 12-13 Gy provides high rates of tumor control and cranial nerve preservation.
