Benefit of dosimetry distribution for patients with multiple brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer by Cyberknife Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) system
Abstract:Background: In order to obtain a high dose conformal index of tumor and steep dose fall-off in healthy tissues for brain metastasis stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), the aim of this study was to investigate SRS planning optimization by comparing one multiple-lesions plan (MLP) with multiple single-lesion plans (SLPs) for patients with multiple brain metastases using the Cyberknife (CK) system.Methods: Fifty non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (28 males and 22 females) with 2-4 brain metastases, inter-tu… Show more
