Zusammenfassung
Fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) allows single or multiple high dosage radiation of small volumes within the brain, i.e. addressing intracranial tumors. Reasonable protection of perilesional brain parenchyma raises clinical interest in fSRS strategies and promising results were already achieved for numerous focal lesions (e.g.: arteriovenous malformations, brain metastases, small benign tumors and malignancies). The effect of hyperfractionated stereotactic radiosurgery on healthy brain tissue (e.g.: apoptosis, necrosis, impact on the blood-brain-barrier) remains, however, to be determined. Adult mal…
