33 Is hypofractionation safer than single-fraction radio surgery? The effect of fractionation on radionecrosis

Abstract

Introduction: Radiation-induced brain necrosis (RN) is a relatively uncommon (5-20%) but potentially severe adverse effect of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastasis(BM). We attempted to establish the effect of hypo-fractionation on RN rates by reviewing patients having simultaneous multi-fraction and single fraction treatment of BM at our centre. Methods: Patients receiving simultaneous 1 (20-24Gy) or 3 fraction (21-24Gy) SRS …
