Abstract:
Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has the characteristics of large irradiation dose per fraction, few fraction sessions and sharp dose falloff out of the target volume, which is an important method to treat brain metastases. At present, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) / SRT technology for brain metastases based on linac is more economical and cost-effective than Gamma Knife and Cyberknife, and has more extensive clinical applications. Based on the published domestic and international standards, this guideline mainly focuses on all aspects involved in the clinical practice of stereotactic radiotherapy technology based on linac, and helps domestic radiotherapy institutions to correctly and safely carry out SRT technology.
