You may have seen this already because the authors are commenting on a recent paper written by Dr. Kondziolka and yourself. If you have not seen this article before, I can fax a copy to your office.

Statistical models are therefore flawed.
Extrapolation of projected risks from fractionated radiation therapy is faulty, since those risks are increased by multiple radiation hits to the same volume as opposed to radiosurgery which is a single exposure. I am sure that Dr. F. can give you more data. The English figures represent politically rather than scientifically based estimations. I hope this helps. I must say I am staggered by the contents.
