Dosimetric Factors Related to Radiation Necrosis after Five Fraction Radiosurgery for Patients with Resected Brain Metastases

ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first study that investigated dosimetric factors that predict for RN after five-fraction hypofractionated SRS for rBM. Hot spot location and magnitude appear important for predicting RN risk, suggesting these parameters should be carefully considered during treatment planning.
