Observational cohort study shows high clinical tumor control in meningiomas, suggesting careful use of mf-GKRS holds risks of adverse effects.

This research aims to assess the efficacy and risks associated with multifraction Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for intracranial meningiomas.
Retrospective observational cohort study involving 216 perioptic and large meningiomas.
Delivery of radiation over 3 consecutive days using Leksell G-frame.
Includes both upfront and adjuvant/salvage mf-GKRS cases.
5-year clinical tumor control was 96.0%, and 10-year was 87.4%.
77.8% of patients had stable or improved clinical outcomes.
Cranial nerve neuropathy risk was higher in tumors larger than 10.0 cm 3.

Barzaghi et al. (2025) studied this question.
