Review Title: Stereotactic radiosurgery for benign spinal tumors
Abstract: Benign spinal tumors are rare clinical conditions, including meningiomas, schwannomas, and neurofibromas. Although these tumors are usually treated with open surgical resection, spinal stereotactic radiosurgery may be a safe and effective alternative to surgery in selected patients. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
