Median survival across patient types is 16 months, with specific cancers showing longer survival rates.
Local relapse occurred in 6 out of 100 patients, while radionecrosis was rare, affecting only 3 patients.
A retrospective cohort study analyzed 100 patients treated with cavity SRS between 2015 and 2019 at a cancer center.
Findings suggest that delays beyond eight weeks from surgery to SRS do not significantly affect survival outcomes.
