Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to compare the dosimetric quality of hypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery in treating sizeable brain tumors across the following treatment platforms: GammaKnife (GK) Icon, CyberKnife (CK) G4, volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) on the Varian TrueBeam STx, double scattering proton therapy (DSPT) on the Mevion S250, and intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) on the Varian ProBeam. METHODS: In this retrospective study, stereotactic radiotherapy treatment plans were generated for 10 patients with sizeable brain tumors... (see article for full abstract).
