Series 1: Stereotactic radiosurgery
Series 2: Stereotactic radiosurgery
Series I: Radiation will be delivered in 4 fractions. The initial dose level will be 6 Gy per fraction to a total dose of 24 Gy in 4 fractions. Doses will be escalated at 2 Gy per fraction increments to 12 Gy per fraction to a total dose of 48 Gy.
Series II: The initial dose level will be 48 Gy to the target volume (tumor) in 3 fractions of 16 Gy per fraction. If acute toxicity is acceptable, then the next four patients will be escalated to 54 Gy in 3 fractions of 18 Gy. Finally if a dose limit has not been reached, the last group of four patients will be treated to 60 Gy in 3 fractions of 20 Gy each.
