title: Radiobiology of radiosurgery.
abstract: The effects of radiosurgery on brain tumor tissue remain to be defined. Effects are dose, volume, time, and tumor histology dependent. In this report, we discuss data from resected specimens after radiosurgery, and work to develop a classification method for radiosurgery effects.
