Abstract
Local control after single fraction SRT is highly dependent upon dose and is high (>80%) after 21Â Gy or more, but low (<50%) after 15Â Gy or less. We conclude that SRT for brain metastases should preferably be applied with a BED12 of at least 40Â Gy corresponding with a single fraction of 20Â Gy, two fractions of 11.6Â Gy or three fractions of 8.5Â Gy.
