Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has revolutionized the treatment of various intracranial and extracranial pathologies, offering a non-invasive, highly precise modality that delivers high doses of radiation to well-defined targets while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Over the past decade, advances in imaging, radiation delivery systems, and treatment planning algorithms have significantly enhanced the efficacy and safety of SRS. These developments have broadened its clinical applications, ranging from the management of brain metastases, arteriovenous malformations, and functional disorders to emerging uses in spinal and extracranial tumors.
Recent innovations in SRS include the integration of advanced imaging modalities, such as functional MRI and PET, for improved target delineation and adaptive radiotherapy systems that account for real-time tumor and organ motion. Moreover, novel delivery platforms, such as linear accelerators with image-guided capabilities, Gamma Knife systems, and robotic radiosurgery devices like CyberKnife, have enhanced precision and expanded treatment possibilities. Concurrently, research into the radiobiological mechanisms underlying SRS has refined fractionation strategies and improved patient outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge advancements in SRS, with a focus on technological breakthroughs, clinical outcomes, and future directions. By synthesizing the latest evidence, this collection will provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving role of SRS in modern therapeutic paradigms.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
