a Feasibility Study of iHD-SRT for BM

Brain metastasis is the most challenging disease in the field of tumor treatment, with a median overall survival of only 1-2 months for untreated patients. Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has the advantages of precise positioning, relatively concentrated dosage, shorter course, and lower toxicity. Several studies could effectively protect cognitive function and achieve better tumor control rate. Currently, it has gradually replaced WBRT as standard local treatment choice for brain metastases. SRT includes Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Fractional Stereotactic Radiotherapy (fSRT). With the continuous updating of domestic radiation therapy equipment, the use of high-resolution multi leaf gratings enables the accuracy of fSRT based on linear accelerators to reach 0.5mm or even lower levels, and has gradually become one of the main choices for local treatment of a limited number of patients with brain metastases. However, there is currently no prospective randomized controlled study data analyzing the clinical benefits of different segmentation and dosages of SRT. In retrospective data comparing different segmentation schemes, researchers found that higher BED was associated with better local control. However, the ASTRO guidelines recommend relatively conservative doses for SRT of brain metastases, especially as the lesion volume increases, and the recommended dose of BED10 for SRT was only 48 Gy (30 Gy/5 Fx). This is based on the consideration that higher radiation exposur…
