Abstract
Our results show a high level of efficacy for fractionated photon radiotherapy after surgery, in keeping with other series. In addition, we found that although surgical debulking is essential, a small residual tumour volume may still be controlled with high-dose photon radiotherapy. This information may be relevant during neurosurgical planning, possibly allowing a reduction in risk of serious neurological deficits. This should encourage the further development of sophisticated photon radiotherapy, for patients unsuitable for proton therapy.
