Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to summarize treatment guidelines for the performance of single isocenter LINAC radiosurgery of multiple brain metastases developed and used by 3 experienced centers. This article is not meant to provide consensus guidelines. Rather, this is a practical, "how we do it" reference without substantial discussion. To serve as a treatment reference, the great majority of the information is presented in topic-specific tables.
