January 2021
Executive summary
This review provides a comprehensive overview of clinical evidence in the use of particle therapy-based radiosurgery. The vast majority of available data are single institution retrospective studies that utilized protons. While there are theoretical benefits to using particles over photons for intracranial radiosurgical applications, prospective data are needed to validate the safety and efficacy of this treatment modality.
