Creator Dean Cestari, MD
Affiliation The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Boston, MA
Subject Skull Base; Ionizing Radiation; Charged Particle (Proton Beam) Radiation; Intensity-Modulated Photon Radiation Therapy (IMRT); Skull Base Tumors
Description Management of tumors in the cranial base has been challenging for neuro-ophthalmologists, radiation oncologists, otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons for more than a century. Since tumors are located deep in the skull and can involve important visual and neurovascular structures, surgical treatment was associated with high morbidity and mortality.
