Dose response and architecture in volume staged radiosurgery for large arteriovenous malformations: A multi-institutional study.

CONCLUSION: VS-SRS is an option for upfront treatment of large AVMs. Higher dose was associated with improved rates of nCR, obliteration, and cure suggesting that larger volumetric responses may facilitate salvage therapy and optimize the chance for cure.
