Abstract

The article represents the first experience of using stereotaxic radiation therapy in hypofractionational mode and radiosurgery for metastatic brain lesions in the radiotherapy department of the Volgograd Regional Clinical Oncological Dispensary. The study involved 15 patients with secondary metastatic brain lesions by tumors of various localizations. Complete tumor regression was recorded in 4 (27 %) patients. In 10 (67 %) cases, a positive response was noted in the form of a decrease in tumor size from 50 to 20 %. No early radiation complications and deaths were detected during radiation therapy.

Keywords
