The median OS from SRT was 24.2 months (range, 19.5\u201353.2 months). One patient was alive and without evidence of disease at 53 months of follow\u2010up. The median durations of local and regional control from SRT were 19.5 months (range, 1.5\u201353.2 months) and 7.0 months (range, 1.5\u201353.2 months), respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Previous reports generally have recommended that patients with intracranial PNS receive palliative external\u2010beam radiotherapy. Results from the current study suggest that some of these patients may have prolonged survival, or even may be cured. Judicious use of SRT should be considered in their management.
