young female, known to have a metastatic breast cancer, since 5 years.
In 2017, she developed secondary lesions in the brain with positive CSF.
She receives 30Gy/10 fr whole brain radiation, with intra-thecal chemotherapy.
A month ago, she developed gait disturbances with blurred speech an hemifacial paresia.
Brain MRI showed a solitary secondary lesion, 1.5 cm involving the left middle cerebral peduncle with extensive edema. No signs of meningeal disease.
Pet CT : NED outside the brain.
She was referred for brain SRS.
I need your advice concerning the dose and fractionation SRS vs FSRT, noting the close proximity of the BS and the Hx of Brain RT.
