There are limited data on dosimetric predictors of radiation-induced changes (RICs) for brainstem metastases or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) following single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). We examined a multi-institutional cohort patients with AVMs treated SRS. evaluated RICs graded per CTCAE(Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events), including D5%, D95%, D0.03 cc, and D0.5 cc (brainstem minus lesion). Univariate logistic regressions were initially performed independent...
