Popis: This study evaluates the treatment of intracerebral brain metastases with single dose stereotactic radiosurgery in comparison to stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy (SFR). Twenty six patients with 41 lesions were evaluated. Thirty four lesions in 19 patients were treated with radiosurgery, and 7 lesions in 7 patients were treated with SFR. The radiosurgery group was treated with an average number of isocenters of 1.4, and an average of 9 arcs. The average dose was 2140cGy delivered to the 70% isodose line. The average volume of the lesions was 5.22 cc. The SFR group lesions received a mean dose to the indicated area delivered by 4 to 6 coplanar fields. The dose was 600 cGy per fraction, 2 to 3 fractions were given. The average volume of the treated lesions was 21.2 cc.
