	abstract = "&#8220;Gamma Knife&#174; radiosurgery&#8221; is high-dose conformal radiation therapy used for the treatment of small target lesions in the head. It is a minimally invasive technique of multiple fixed, precisely aimed cobalt beams, and relies upon strict patient immobilization via a pinned stereotactic frame to deliver treatment to a precisely located target within a coordinated mapping system. This technique has been widely validated for the treatment of intra-cranial neoplasms and arteriovenous malformations. In this manuscript, two cases of early diagnosed, locally recurrent &#40;persistent&#41; nasopharyngeal carcinoma, successfully treated by Gamma Knife<SUP>&#174;</SUP>, are described. In one of these, early diagnosis by PET scanning may have improved the chance of cure.",
