This study aims to assess the viability of salvage stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for recurrent malignant gliomas through assessing overall survival, local control and toxicity. We performed a retrospective review of 65 patients with 76 lesions (55 high-grade, 21 low-grade) treated with salvage SRS between 2002 and   2012. Median follow-up from salvage SRS was 14.9 months (IQR: 0.9-28.1), 8.3 months (IQR: 4.0-13.3) and 8.5 months (IQR: 3.9-15.8) for low-grade, high-grade, and combined, respectively. A 12-month overall survival from salvage SRS was 68.4, 38.7 and 47.3% for low-grade, high-grade and combined respectively. A total of 6-month local control was 86.2, 53.8 and 65.3% for low-grade, high-grade and combined, respectively. Our results indicate salvage SRS can provide acceptable survival and local control with minimal toxicity.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
