Radiation / Radiosurgery / Re: how to read this study? GK vs LINAC systems
« Last post by donjehle on June 02, 2024, 06:31:47 pm »The way I read it is that neither GL nor LINAC has much of an impact on Trigeminal Nerve impairment (which I would guess is probably true with all radiation treatment), but GK is slightly better (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.41-1.22) versus (OR 1.13, 95% CI 0.64-2.00) for LINAC. And LINAC is slightly better when it comes to Tinnitus (OR 0.15, 95% CI 0.03-0.87) versus (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.48-1.01) for GK.
The telling statement may be the final statement: "Future studies are warranted to investigate the efficacy of GK and LINAC SRS more directly."
So, this study by itself may not be persuasive in choosing CK or LINAC over the other. More research needs to be done.
At least that's how I understand it.
