“…However, reports of multi- session SRS are emerging. 18,34,72,76,89,150 These studies appear to demonstrate comparable local control to single fraction treatment, with perhaps fewer side effects and a lower incidence of symptomatic edema, particularly for non-basal/parasagittal or large meningiomas. In one of these reports, Unger reported on 173 patients and found that symptomatic edema was significantly less common following multifraction (typically 25 Gy in 5 fractions) SRS than single session (median 15 Gy) SRS.…”

“…Many other larger studies have also confirmed the safety of single-fraction RS, (5,(7)(8)(9)(10) although far fewer and smaller studies have reported on hypofractionated RS. (11)(12)(13)(14) Our patient who had peritumoral oedema requiring VP shunt insertion had a larger tumour (7.17 cm 3 , median 1.68 cm 3 ) prior to RS, and this could have been a predisposing factor for complications. Chan et al's study (9) on FSRT found that tumour size was strongly predictive of neurosurgical complications, and that three-and five-year actuarial rates of freedom from any neurosurgical intervention were 100% and 97% for patients with tumour volume < 8 cm 3 , but were 74% and 47% for tumour volume > 8 cm 3 .…”

“…Orta dereceli hipofraksiyonun uzun dönem toksisiteden koruduğu bilinmektedir. [48,49] Stereotaktik beden radyoterapisi 3-5 fraksiyon kullanılmaktadır. [20] Olgularımızda doz sınırlayıcı yapılar nedeniyle 3-5 fraksiyon kullandığımız SBRT etkili ve takrarlanabilir bir yaklaşımdır.…”
