Abstract
Central neurocytoma (CN) is an extremely rare tumor primarily located in the supratentorial ventricular system, categorized as a glioneuronal or neuronal tumor. This study presented a retrospective analysis of five CN patients who received adjuvant or salvage radiotherapy. Patients, aged 31-59 years, underwent radiation doses ranging from 60 Gy to 50.4 Gy over 27-30 fractions. All patients achieved effective local tumor control without severe complications. The median follow-up period was 51.7 months, demonstrating 100% overall and progression-free survival rates. Our study's clinical outcomes align with previous research, despite the limitation of a small sample size. Emphasizing the necessity for additional research, our findings added to the potential evidence of radiotherapy in managing CN. Larger, long-term studies were needed to confirm these promising results.
