Modeling dose to normal brain following hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy to a single brain metastasis. [PDF]

J Appl Clin Med Phys
Abstract Background Brain metastases (BM) occur in at least 20% of people with an advanced solid malignancy and can lead to morbidity or mortality if not controlled. Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HF‐SRT) may be preferred to single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in certain clinical situations to improve the therapeutic ratio ...

Stereotactic Radiosurgery versus Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy Boost for Patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme [PDF]

Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2004
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of stereotactic radiotherapy boost (SRB) in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) by comparing two different regimens, single dose or fractionated treatment. Between December 1994 and January 2000, 24 patients with GBM were treated with SRB in conjunction with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT ...
