title: Stereotactic radiotherapy plus radiosurgical boost in the treatment of large cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
abstract: Small sized AVMs respond well to stereotactic radiosurgery, while larger AVMs do poorly with stereotactic radiosurgery or stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy. A combination of both methods is proposed for the treatment of these larger lesions.
