OBJECTIVES: To determine the long-term outcome after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for temporal @entity79 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 11 @entity1 with temporal @entity79 (10 @entity1 with a @entity1823 and 1 @entity1 with a @entity17851 ) treated between January 1997 and July 2012 at the University of Florida with SRS to a median dose of 15 Gy in 1 fraction. Ten previously unirradiated @entity1 received SRS as did 1 @entity1 who received prior fractionated radiotherapy (FRT) and then received salvage SRS for a local recurrence. The major outcome endpoint was local control, meaning no further growth or shrinkage on follow-up computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans. RESULTS: The median follow-up time was 5.3 years. Two @entity1 developed a local recurrence after SRS, including the @entity1 who received salvage SRS after prior FRT. The overall local control rates at 5 and 10 years were both 81%. The cause-specific survival rates at 5 and 10 years were both 88%. The distant metastasis-free survival rates at 5 and 10 years were both 100%. The overall survival rates at 5 and 10 years were both 78%. There were no severe complications. CONCLUSIONS: SRS for @entity135 is a safe and efficacious treatment associated with minimal morbidity. SRS is suitable for @entity1 with @entity5 <3 cm when FRT is logistically unsuitable. Surgery is reserved for @entity1 in good health whose risk of associated morbidity is low. Observation is a reasonable option for asymptomatic @entity1 with a limited life expectancy.
