SBRT for Oligometastases: Past, Present, Future.
This presentation will review the history of treating oligometastases with ablative therapy. It will discuss and interpret new evidence for and against the oligometastatic state, and provide some guidance for clinical practice. Finally, it will review some ongoing trials that are expected to inform clinical practice in the next few years.
The Current State of the Medical Literature and Getting Published

Radiosurgery: What I Know Now That I Wish I Knew Back Then?
In this presentation I will review the science and practice of stereotactic radiosurgery for brain disorders, and focus on the changes that have occurred over the past 30 years. Learning continues for all clinicians, physicists and industry partners, and this review will set the stage for what needs to come.
The History of Linac Radiosurgery
The origins of SRS begin with cross-fired radiation beams in the early 1900s followed by early stereotactic neurosurgery in the 1930s. The first Linac-based SRS treatments were performed by neurosurgeons Betti in 1982 and Colombo in 1983 preceded by the pioneering work of Leksell in the 1950s. With thousands of SRS capable or dedicated linac-based […]

In the 1930’s a young Lars Leksell joined Herbert Olivecrona in his operating room in Stockholm. The experience, with all its “blood, sweat and tears” and with up to 60 percent surgical mortality, prompted a lifelong quest for ways to minimize neurosurgical trauma. In the late 1940’s he developed his own stereotactic instrument, the basic […]
