Abstract:Background
Fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) is an important treatment strategy for unresected brain metastases. We previously reported that a good volumetric response 6 months after fSRS can be the first step for local control. Few studies have reported the association between gross tumor volume (GTV) dose, volumetric response, and local control in patients treated with the same number of fractions. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the GTV dose and volumetric respo… Show more
