Abstract
We present the updated recommendations of the French Society for Radiation Oncology on benign intracranial tumours. Most of them are meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas, pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, and glomus tumours. Some grow very slowly, and can be observed without specific treatment, especially if they are asymptomatic. Symptomatic or growing tumours are treated by surgery, which is the reference treatment. When surgery is not possible, due to the location of the lesion, or general conditions, radiotherapy can be applied, as it is if there is a postoperative growing residual tumour, or a local relapse. Indications have to be discussed at a multidisciplinary panel, with precise evaluation of the benefit and risks of the treatments. The techniques to be used are the most modern ones, as multimodal imaging and image-guided radiation therapy. Stereotactic treatments, using fractionated or single doses depending on the size or the location of the tumours, are commonly realized, to avoid as much a possible the occurrence of late side effects.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of normofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (RT) and intensity modulated RT with helical tomotherapy for skull base meningioma. Methods and Materials Between January 2009 and 2014, 46 patients with skull base meningioma were treated with normofractionated intensity modulated RT in stereotactic conditions (50%) or with helical tomotherapy (50%). Most of the lesions were localized in the cavernous sinus (59%). The mean planning target volume was 47.2 mL (range, 1.1-223 mL). Results After treatment, 5 lesions exhibited a partial response radiologically and 39 lesions were stable. At the time of treatment, 35 patients were symptomatic with a mean of 2 symptoms per patient. The most frequent symptoms were visual impairment (41%), cranial nerve dysfunction (20%), and headache (16%). The median follow-up time was 42 months (range, 10-76 months). After RT, 71% of patients exhibited an improvement of at least 1 symptom with a median interval of 15.6 months (range, 5.3-30.5 months). The most frequent improved symptoms were cranial nerve deficits (47%), visual impairment (45%), and headache (42%).The clinical response was correlated with the clinical target volume (CTV) margin (P = .06), extended clinical follow-up time (P = .004), and larger planning target volume (P = .05) by univariate analysis. Taking in account correlation factors, in the multivariate analysis, only CTV was a favorable significant factor of clinical improvement (P = .049; hazard ratio: 5 95%; confidence interval, 1.1-28). We observed 3 cases of trigeminal nerve dysfunction at 4.2, 5.7, and 24.6 months; 2 cases of visual disturbance at 10.1 and 24 months; 2 cases of neurocognitive disorders at 12.9 and 35.2 months; and 1 case of stroke at 20.3 months. Conclusions RT for skull base meningiomas is an effective and safe treatment, leading in most cases to clinical improvement. The addition of a CTV margin to meningioma volume improved the symptoms of patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare several techniques in order to determine the best treatment for benign brain tumours. METHODS AND PATIENTS A retrospective study was performed for five patients who received 3D-conformal radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy or CyberKnife(®). These patients had a meningioma, a pituitary tumour, a craniopharyngioma or a neurinoma. In each case, these treatment plans were optimised and compared with the three other dosimetries. Radiobiological or positioning parameters were evaluated, as well as dosimetric parameters, in order to compare treatments with different characteristics. RESULTS The dosimetric parameters showed that the choice of treatment seemed to be determined mostly by tumour size, shape and proximity with organs at risk (not tumour localisation). Whereas the results showed no significant deviations with regards to the radiobiological parameters. Therefore, with these parameters, it was difficult to give priority to a treatment. CONCLUSIONS With regards to benign brain tumours of medium or large size, intensity modulated radiotherapy seemed the recommended treatment. It enabled to obtain a good ratio between efficacy and toxicity for tumours that are really close to organs at risk. Concerning small benign brain tumours, the CyberKnife(®) was probably the best treatment.

Abstract
We report the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with two local recurrences and metastatic dissemination of a papillary meningioma of the sphenoid 3 years after surgery. Treatment consisted in a combination of surgery for the local recurrence in the initial site, radiotherapy and chemotherapy for bone metastases. Evolution of the disease spread over 7.5 years. The literature relating metastatic meningiomas is reviewed; prognostic factors and main therapeutic protocols are discussed.

Abstract
It is the aim of conformal radiotherapy to restrict the high-dose region to the target volume as much as possible, thereby sparing the neighboring healthy tissues. However, to increase the therapeutic range, smaller margins tend to be used. This reduction of safety margins enhances the risk of unsuitable dosage because of mistaken target definition. Central nervous system (CNS) and lung cancers constitute sites that are particularly difficult to irradiate combining a large number of conceptual difficulties, allowing them to be considered as 2 particularly interesting study models. Imaging occupies an increasingly important place in these 2 types of tumors, especially with the development of new radiotherapy techniques. CNS and lung cancers represent an example of clinicopathological correlations. More specifically, CNS cancers represent an excellent model for estimation of new 3-dimensional navigational systems. For lung cancer, there is a combination of ballistic difficulties because of respiratory motion, the number and low tolerance of neighboring organs, and dosimetric difficulties because of the presence of inhomogeneities. This article reviews the main currently accepted criteria of choice justifying the size of gross tumor volume and clinical target volume margins for lung and CNS cancers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate mutual information criterion as a ready-to-use technique for automated alignment (ie, registration) of 3-dimensional (3-D) multimodal image data of the head of cats and dogs. SAMPLE POPULATION Corresponding 3-D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) brain scans of a 6-month-old Doberman Pinscher with a brain cyst; CT images of the head of a European shorthair cat with a meningioma before and immediately, 3, and 6 months after surgical resection; and CT and corresponding stacked anatomic cryosection images of the entire head of a 2-year-old sexually intact female Beagle. PROCEDURE All images were matched retrospectively by use of an in-house computer program developed on the basis of a mutual information image registration algorithm. Accuracy of the resulting registrations was evaluated by visual inspection. RESULTS All registrations were judged to be highly accurate. Additional manual corrections were not necessary. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Mutual information registration criterion can by applied to 3-D multimodal head images of cats and dogs for full automatic rigid-body image registration. The combination of such aligned images would considerably facilitate efforts of veterinary clinicians as indicated by its widespread use in brain surgery and radiation therapy of humans.
