Role of biological effective dose for prediction of endocrine remission in acromegaly patients treated with stereotactic radiosurgery

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can be used in acromegaly patients to achieve endocrine remission. In this study we evaluate the biological effective dose (BED) as a predictor of SRS outcomes for acromegaly.
