Description

The authors report a retrospective and mono-centric study of re-irradiation in stereotactic conditions with CyberKnife of relapses of high-grade brain tumours. Eight patients have been submitted to such a re-irradiation. One patient died, two had a new relapse within an average delay of 2.8 months. But the treatment was rather well tolerated and its preliminary results seem encouraging. Short communication
