Talk:Radiosurgery

message: Quite extensive text about radiosurgery. I would expect to find something like this under "Radiation therapy" rather than "Radiosurgery" (which is just a special case of radiation therapy, in my opinion). -Bluejonah- 13:25, 13 DEC 2004 (UTC)
I changed "gamma knife" from a link because a fairly complete description is given within this page itself.  The alternative would seem to be moving the description of the gamma knife out to its own page.  I noticed this because the term was on the request list.

replies: text: Three years later, stereotactic body radiosurgery is indeed being used to treat diseases outside of the brain. For example, the RTOG has an ongoing trial treating non-small cell lung cancer with SBRT (RTOG 0915). Japanese medical researchers have been at the vanguard of this treatment approach for NSCLC, and the RTOG trial is based in part on the Japanese literature. The NCCN guidelines for NSCLC incorporate eligibility criteria, fractionation schedules, and normal tissue dose limits for stereotactic radiosurgery.--BAW (talk) 18:16, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I wonder if this article would pass a Good Article review.  If there are regular editors hanging out, perhaps you'd like to look up the criteria and do an informal, off-the-record review.  If it seems to meet the criteria, then you could propose an official review.  (If it seems not to meet the criteria, then I'd definitely not propose a formal review until you've had a chance to fix any perceived problems or omissions.)

message: Radiation sources and radiation safety are regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or state  government agencies (states can opt out of NRC regulation by adopting their own state-level equivalent), and medical devices and their use are still regulated by the FDA. There is not simply one regulatory agency per device or per procedure. It's more complicated than that. The current text in this section implies that inadequate FDA regulation combined with a lack of NRC oversight led to the radiation overdoses mentioned.
I also find it troubling that under this heading of Risks this is the only thing that is mentioned. Dcs002 (talk) 03:14, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Risks section 

message: Dear all, I have rewritten the first sections of this page as I felt they didn't reflect the current ongoing controversies including developments of body radiosurgery, the definition refresh by Barnett, etc. I wanted to clearly state where radiosurgery comes from, how it evolved and what it stands for today, being a key tool in the minimally invasive treatment armamentarium. I plan to revisit the other sections on this page as well in the following days. Please share your feedback and suggestions for improvements and comments. malli (talk) 17:00, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
