Popis: Stereotactic radiosurgery for large brain metastases (BM) not amenable to surgical resection is associated with limited local control and neurotoxicity, while hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HFSRT) has emerged as a promising option. We retrospectively evaluated 61 patients with BM larger than 2 cm in the maximum diameter, who were treated with HFSRT (mainly 35 Gy/5 fractions) in our center between 2006–2016, focusing on the effect of BM size on outcomes. Eligible patients were divided according to the maximum BM diameter (group A [23 patients]: ≥3 cm, group B [22 patients]
