Reports of stereotactic radiosurgery large VSs have demonstrated worse tumor control preservation neurological function. The authors endeavored assess the effect size treated using GKS. Methods This study was retrospective comparison 24 (> 3 cm in maximum diameter) GKS compared 49 (≤ cm) matched age, sex, radiosurgical margin maximal doses, length follow-up, indication. Results Actuarial progression-free survival (PFS) VS cohort 95.2% 81.8% at 5 years, respectively, 97% 90% (p = 0.009). Overall clinical outcome better < 0.001). Patients presenting House-Brackmann Grade I (good facial function) had outcomes pat...
