The INVasiveness in Pituitary ADEnomas Score: Development and Validation of a Novel Radiographic Grading Scale for Pituitary Adenoma Invasion

Varun R. Kshettry, Pranay Soni, Jonathan Lee, Tamia Potter et autres

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A comprehensive, linear, and reliable radiographic scale for pituitary adenoma invasiveness that accounts for tumor invasion into multiple anatomic structures is needed to correlate with surgical outcomes and genetic and molecular signatures. In this study, we present the INVasiveness …

Improvement in cranial neuropathies following stereotactic radiotherapy as primary treatment for skull base meningiomas

Karim Hafazalla, Matthews Lan, Keenan Piper, Preston Carey et autres

Purpose Many patients with skull base meningiomas (SBMs) develop cranial neuropathies, though there is a paucity in literature regarding cranial neuropathy improvement following treatment. This is even more profound when isolating for patients who received stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) as their primary treatment …
