Radiosurgery for glomus jugulare tumors: experience treating 16 patients in Iran

Abstract

According to the authors' experience, GKS represents a useful therapeutic option to control symptoms and may be safely conducted in patients with primary or recurrent GJTs with no death and no acute morbidity. Because of the tumor's naturally slow growth rate, however, long-term follow-up data are needed to establish a cure rate after radiosurgery.
