Thanks, that makes sense, and aligns with the "trickier" part. So you can get your SBRT fractionated over more than 5 sessions with U.S. Medicare, but you need to provide medical justification?

I may have misled you. I don't want to get over my skis as it were. I was merely referring to the interval between the typical 5 sessions to reduce 'potential temporary or delayed urinary tract symptoms. I believe some centers provide only 4 sessions on a daily basis most employ 5 sessions over two weeks on alternate weekdays. (The above formulae may apply only to the Cyberknife SBRT platforms?
