| - | The long-term efficacy and complications of hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (hSRT) to metastases involving the brainstem are not well reported. Our objective is to review the results of metastases intrinsic to or abutting the brainstem treatedwith hSRT.Patients treated with hSRT in 5 fractions at our institution from 2016 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Varian Eclipse v13.7 TPS was used for treatment planning. MRI images were fused with CT images acquired at the time of simulation, and contoured structures include the brainstem, the GTV, and a 2 mm margin was used to generate the PTV. MR imaging was performed at 3-month intervals. Survival was assessed at the last available follow-up; tumor control was assessed at 6 and 12 months and toxicity was assessed based on the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group grading system at regular follow-up. Twenty patients were treated with 5 fraction treatment dose plans ranging from 20 Gy - 31.25 Gy. GTV mean volume was 3.5 cc ± 4.3 cc (range 0.1 cc - 18.9 cc). The median overall survival was 6.5 months (range: 1 to 29 months). The twelve-month tumor control rate was 80%. Toxicity was generally mild, with only one patient demonstrating Grade 3 toxicity. Two patients had radiographic progression, | ||
