ZAP-X: An Innovative Radiosurgical Solution for Glomus Jugulare Tumors

This study evaluated the clinical benefit of the application of the ZAP-X stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) system in the treatment of glomus jugulare tumors. Two patients with recurrent or progressive glomus jugulare tumors underwent treatment with the ZAP-X SRS system. Analysis of clinical treatment processes and follow-up data over a period of up to three years revealed that after treatment with the ZAP-X system, the tumor volumes significantly reduced, and no severe radiation therapy-related complications were observed. These findings highlight the potential clinical benefits of the ZAP-X system in the treatment of complex skull base tumors.

Abstract

This study evaluated the clinical benefit of the application of the ZAP-X stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) system in the treatment of glomus jugulare tumors. Two patients with recurrent or progressive glomus jugulare tumors underwent treatment with the ZAP-X SRS system. Analysis of clinical treatment processes and follow-up data over a period of up to three years revealed that after treatment with the ZAP-X system, the tumor volumes significantly reduced, and no severe radiation therapy-related complications were observed. These findings highlight the potential clinical benefits of the ZAP-X system in the treatment of complex skull base tumors.
