Preface
Image-Guided Stereotactic Radiosurgery: High-Precision, Non-invasive Treatment of Solid Tumors provides an overview on current strategies and available technologies for the treatment of patients with solid tumors, as well as for cranial benign lesions, for primary early-stage cancer, and for cancers with oligometastases. The term oligometastases refers to those cancers that have a limited metastatic capacity, thus a limited volume, number, and occurrence site of metastases. A decade of work in this field, including clinical routine, scientific investigation, interdisciplinary communication, and targeted publications, was a plausible reason and the motivation for writing this book. The text is a frozen moment of data streams and informational flow that characterizes this highly innovative field of clinical activity and scientific inquiry. The book is not claiming to cover the entireness of current options of imageguided stereotactic radiosurgery. It is, indeed, based on what is done in the routine of clinics and has really been executed at the moment, in 2016, in large- and middlesized medical centers in the Western hemisphere and large parts of Asia and Latin America. It should present merely a snapshot of options on how to treat patients with benign and malignant solid tumors by means of a safe and effective noninvasive method that i
