What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Delivery of 34 Gy in 10 Fractions

    Successful delivery of the radiation treatment defined as a total 34 Gy in a total of 10 fractions, 3.4 Gy per fraction. (Gray = GY is a measure of radiation dose delivered to tissue)

    Time frame: measured at end of 10th fraction, usually within 7 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Serious Adverse Device Related Events Reported During the Course of the Study Through 6 Month Follow-up.

    Serious adverse device related events reported from treatment through 6 month follow-up and at 5-year follow-up are reported.

    Time frame: Through 6 months
