CyberKnife NeuroRadiosurgery
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-50670-4 (ISBN)
This book is a practical guide on image-guided robotic (CyberKnife®) radiosurgery of the brain and the spine. The volume introduces the radiosurgical community to the potential of image-guidance in the treatment of neurosurgical diseases including neuro-oncological, vascular and functional disorders. Principles of image-guided radiosurgery, including physics and radiobiology are considered. Each chapter provides a critical review of the literature and analyses of several aspects to offer an assessment of single and hypofractionated treatments. Based on the authors' experience, tables or summaries presenting the treatment approaches and associated risks are included as well. Providing a practical guide to define the selection of dose, fractionation schemes, isodose line, margins, imaging, constraints to the structures at risk will support safe practice of neuroradiosurgery. This book aims to shed new light on the treatment of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the central nervous system using the CyberKnife® image-guided robotic radiosurgery system. It will be adopted by neurosurgery residents and neurosurgery consultants as well as residents in radiation oncology and radiation oncologists; medical physicists involved in radiosurgery procedures may also benefit from this book.

Scott G. Soltys is Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the Department of Radiation Oncology, Stanford University Cancer Center (USA). He has authored a number of fundamental articles on the clinical applications of Cyberknife and, as a member of Stanford team he contributed to the development of some of the most innovative applications of Cyberknife. His clinical and research interests focus on the development of new radiation techniques involving stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy for the treatment of malignant and benign tumors of the brain and spine and functional disorders such as trigeminal neuralgia.
Young Hyun Cho is an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at the Department of Neurological Surgery, Asan Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea. With over 10 years of experience in stereotactic radiosurgery (Cyberknife and Gamma Knife), he has authored more than 50 papers. He has interest and expertise in neuro-oncology, radiobiology, small animal models for stereotactic radiosurgery, and image fusion.
Michael Lim is a Professor of Neurosurgery, Oncology, Otolaryngology, Radiation Oncology and Radiation Molecular Sciences at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (Baltimore, USA). He was part of the Stanford team that developed the CyberKnife in the early 2000's. In addition to treating spinal tumors, he is an expert on the treatment of brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, and trigeminal neuralgia with radiosurgery. Dr. Lim's primary research interest involves immune-based therapies for brain tumors. He authored more than 200 scientific publications and tens of book chapters.

"The current book would be helpful for people desiring to understand radiosurgery for neurosurgical disorders, in particular when using CyberKnife. We would suggest a critical view of what is presented in every chapter, for the maximum benefit of the reader. ... We congratulate the authors on putting together the first ever book on CyberKnife neuro-radiosurgery." (Constantin Tuleasca and Marc Levivier, Neurosurgery, Vol. 2 (1), 2021)
