Abstract:
:To elucidate the radiobiological effect of Gamma Knife radiosurgery on brain tumors, we performed a histological study on nine cases. In two, the material was obtained at autopsy and in seven following surgery. In the central region of the radiation field, destructive changes occurred both in tumor cells and in vessels. In the peripheral area, destructive and proliferative vascular changes were intermingled with residual tumor tissue. Immunohistochemical staining of surgical specimens showed that the vascular proliferative changes consisted of pericytic proliferation with or without endothelial proliferation. These characteristic changes might suppress tumor growth, at least in the short-term.
