[Stereotaxic radiotherapy: status in France in January 1997].
Stereotactic radiosurgery has been used in France since 1986 in the treatment of arteriovenous malformations and brain neoplasms, and has been performed in 23 public and private centres. We briefly describe the techniques used in these centres and review the results of French teams, which are comparable to those reported in the world literature.
