Abstract
Brain tumors are the most common solid tumor in childhood. Surgery and/or fractionated radiotherapy are conventional treatment modalities. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) are advanced radiation therapy techniques that have been frequently used in adults with brain tumors but they are less frequently used in pediatric patients. SRS and FSRT can potentially add to the armamentarium against brain tumors in children. This article will review the role of SRS and FSRT in the management of pediatric brain tumors.Entities:
