PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy, outcomes, and complications of single session (SS-SRS) and multisession (MS-SRS) stereotactic radiosurgery in the treatment of intracranial meningiomas. METHODS: Relevant articles were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane. A systematic review and meta-analysis of treatment protocols and outcomes were conducted. After the selection process, 20 articles describing 1483 cases were included. RESULTS: A total of 1303 patients who underwent SS-SRS and 180 patients who underwent MS-SRS for the management of their intracranial meningioma were reported in the included studies. SS-SRS and MS-SRS had comparable one-year (SS-SRS: 98% vs. MS-SRS: 100%, p > 0.99) and five-year (SS-SRS: 94% vs. MS-SRS: 93%, p = 0.71) tumor control rates. The groups also had comparable tumor volume reduction/tumor regression rates (SS-SRS: 44% vs. MS-SRS: 25%, p = 0.25), tumor volume stability rates (SS-SRS: 51% vs. MS-SRS: 75%, p = 0.12), and tumor progression rates (SS-SRS: 4% vs. MS-SRS: 4%, p = 0.89). SS-SRS and MS-SRS yielded similar complication rates (10.4% vs. 11.4%, p = 0.68) and comparable functional improvement rates (MS-SRS: 44% vs. SS-SRS: 36%, p = 0.57). However, MS-SRS was used for significantly larger tumor volumes (MS-SRS: 23.8 cm3 vs. SS-SRS: 6.1 cm3, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: SS-SRS and MS-SRS resulted in comparable tumor control, tumor volumetric change, and functional outcomes despite significant biases in selecting patients for SS- or MS-SRS.
