Conventional fractionation: 1.8-2 Gy/fx - 5fx per week
Split-course fractionation: a break (weeks long) during
treatment resulting in prolonged overall treatment time
Hyperfractionation: small doses per fraction (<1.8-2 Gy/fx)
Hypofractionation: large doses per fraction (>2 Gy/fx)
Accelerated fractionation: reduced overall treatment time
- and any combination of the different principles
Altered fractionation
