Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for optic nerve sheath meningioma: comparison of efficacy and costs with radiotherapy under Korean health insurance system
This study revealed that GKRS and EBRT had similar treatment efficacy and safety profile in treating ONSMs. Instant management is advantageous when the BCVA deteriorates to 20/50 and tumors involve intracranially. Under the framework of Korean NHIS, GKRS contributed to less indirect cost estimates and was preferred by patients under shared decision-making process.
