Long-Term Outcomes After Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Treatment of Craniopharyngiomas: A Swedish Nationwide Cohort With a Mean Follow-Up of 21 Years
GKRS demonstrates sustained long-term efficacy in treating craniopharyngiomas, with a PFS rate of 40% at 30 years and no tumor growth observed beyond this point. Initial tumor volume should be assessed when planning GKRS treatment and follow-up of craniopharyngioma patients because it is a significant predictor of both tumor growth and OS.
