Overview
There are no recommended therapeutic interventions for the management of [disease name].
OR
[Name of intervention] is not the first-line treatment option for patients with [disease name]. [Name of intervention] is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and [indication 3]
OR
The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is medical therapy/surgery. [Name of intervention] is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and/or [indication 3].
OR
The feasibility of [name of intervention] depends on the stage of [disease or malignancy] at the time of diagnosis.
OR
[Name of intervention] is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].
Indications
Radiotherapy
- For the treatment of smaller meningiomas, single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery may be used. Fractionated radiotherapy is used for larger volume tumors and/or those in contact with the optic chiasm/nerve.[1]
- This leads to symptom improvement with about less than 5% of patients presenting with worsened neurological deficit.
