Abstract
Stereotactic radiosurgery has become a well established territory in the neurosurgical treatment armamentarium. The spectrum of clinical applications of stereotactic radiosurgery has greatly expanded to include a wide variety of benign brain tumors. The radiobiological basis and possible mechanisms for tumor responses following stereotactic radiosurgery treatment have been elucidated. The following sections in this review summarize the reported results of the radiosurgery treatment for the different categories of benign brain tumors. The author concluded the analytical review by proposing a treatment rationale for benign brain tumors in light of the risk-benefit ratios of other available treatment options.
