On my team at UVA, I am lucky to surround myself with brilliant young neurosurgeons like Dr. Salem Tos who presented his work at the 2025 AANS conference

Thank you so much, Dr. Sheehan! It’s an honor to continue working with you and the incredible team at UVA Neurosurgery. Grateful for your mentorship and excited for all that’s ahead!

Just published in SFN! Monopolar stimulation prolongs battery life in Percept™ PC DBS systems for Parkinson's, highlighting its energy efficiency over bipolar settings. Excellent work led by Forough Yazdanian, under supervision of Dr. Alterman. ASSFN Link:B2n.ir/ey1023

In the Journal of Neuro-Oncology, the Stanford neurosurgery team studied PIK3CA-mutated meningiomas looking at targeted therapy approaches.

Zare et al @amhosseinzare @bardii47 Jason Sheehan Arad iranmehr present first meta-analysis on CNS ependymomas treated with SRS, supporting its role as a valuable adjunct. Several prognostic factors were identified that influence outcomes.#JNO Read more:link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our systematic review & meta-analysis on stereotactic radiosurgery for petroclival meningiomas is now published in Acta Neurologica Belgica! 📌 94% LTC 📌 87–94% PFS 📌 5% complication rate SRS is effective & safe as both primary and adjuvant treatment. 🔗 doi.org/10.1007/s13760…

Our systematic review & meta-analysis on stereotactic radiosurgery for pituitary metastases is now published in BMC Radiation Oncology! 📌 92% local control 📌 77% cranial nerve improvement 📌 2% complication rate SRS is effective & safe—but limited in endocrine recovery. 🔗

Our systematic review & meta-analysis on ML models predicting EGFR status in NSCLC brain metastases is now published in BMC Cancer! 📌 AUC 0.91 📌 Accuracy 0.82 📌 Sensitivity 0.87 | Specificity 0.86 ML offers a non-invasive path to EGFR prediction. 🔗 doi.org/10.1186/s12885…

Delighted to have my team at UVA be contributors and co-authors on this new study on intracranial AVM outcomes

Proud of our Drs. Andrew Carlson, ⁦Ryan Kellogg, MD⁩, Min Park, ⁦Jason Sheehan⁩, and Justin Smith for being recognized as #Neurosurgery Research All-Stars! ⁦UVA Health⁩

Our systematic review & meta-analysis evaluated outcomes of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for tumor-related trigeminal neuralgia (TRTN) across 19 studies (n=454). 📌 73% achieved adequate pain relief 📌 38% became completely pain-free 📌 14% experienced adverse radiation

Our systematic review & meta-analysis on postoperative SRS for intracranial SFT/HPCs (n=228) reveals: 📌 94% 1-year local tumor control 📌 85% 5-year overall survival 📌 6% adverse radiation effect SRS offers a safe, effective adjuvant strategy for these rare aggressive tumors.

Just published in World Neurosurgery! Our SRMA evaluates ML-based models for preop differentiation of spinal schwannomas vs meningiomas (n=644). 📌 AUC = 0.944 📌 Sensitivity = 91% 📌 Specificity = 92% ML tools show strong diagnostic power—supporting surgical decision-making. 🔗
