Abstract

The five RT schedules provided similar functional outcome. The three more protracted schedules seemed to result in fewer in-field recurrences. To minimize treatment time, the following two schedules are recommended: 1 x 8 Gy for patients with poor predicted survival and 10 x 3 Gy for other patients. Results should be confirmed in a prospective randomized trial.
