10. FRACTIONATION IN RADIATION
• Standard fractionation:
@1.8-2.0 Gy a day, 5 days a week for 25-30 treatments
• Conventional hypofractionation:
@3-5 Gy a day, 5 days a week for 10-15 treatments
• Stereotactic radiotherapy SRT:
@15-25 Gy a day, 1-3 days a week for 1-5 treatments
52. No radiotherapy in 36 countries
LMIC have less than 10% of
teletherapy serve almost 50% of the
world population.
HIC have over 60% of all
teletherapy machines serve 16% of
the world population.

71. Stereotactic Body Radiosurgery SBRT
SBRT is the use of high doses of radiation delivered to
tumors in the liver, lung and spine.
Single dose or in a limited treatments (2-5 doses).
72.
73. INDICATION OF SBRT/ SRS
SBRT: Early Lung Ca, Metastatic Liver n Spine tumor,
Re-Radiation or Recurrent tumor, Localized Prostate Ca,
Pancreatic Ca, Brain metastases (5 or less).
SRS: AVM, Vestibular Schwannoma, Meningioma
Trigeminal neuralgia, Recurrent GBM, Acoustic neuroma
Pituitary adenoma, Glomus tumors, Hemangioblastoma.
74. Advantages of SBRT
Fewer fractions, more convenient.
Higher effective doses effective and durable
Less normal tissue Injury
Technically straight forward
Ability to retreat
But ……
Little margin for error,
Paucity of data on cord tolerance to single fraction
Potential complications: Mucositis, Laryngitis, Esophageal
stricture, and compression fracture
75. STEREO-TACTIC Meaning
“Stereotactic" OR “Stereotaxy“
Stereo- a prefix Greek word = solid
-taxis a suffix Greek taxis = arrangement, in order
SRS efficient, safe, and minimal invasive
77. Hallmarks of Radiosurgery SRS
High Precision
High Accuracy (<1mm)
High dose conformity
Rapid fall off of
radiation dose
Minimizes dose to
normal tissues
78. POWER OF RADIOSURGERY: FFF
Fast Single day treatment ( less than hour)
Friendly Outpatient, Non-invasive
Focused Rapid & Durable local control,
Better sparing of surrounding tissue.
Allows for future surgical intervention if needed with
smaller chance for wound complications
79.
80. RATIONALE FOR SRS
Spherical/pseudospherical
Generally non-infiltrative
Most < 3 cm
Grey-White location (“non-eloquent”)
Improved local control = Better survival
Need higher doses for local control
If surgery works, so should radiosurgery !
