A corrigendum on

Text Correction

In the published article, there was an error. One of the citations of Table 3 was incorrect and should have referred to Table 4 instead.

A correction has been made to the Results section, Association between regional failure (distant brain failure) and other variables, paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:

“After univariate analyses, age at diagnosis, histology, MRI maximum axial dimension, time interval between diagnostic MRI and first treatment, time interval between CT simulation and first treatment, fractionated versus single fraction SRS, total dose, GTV, PTV, max GTV dose, presence of normal brain constraint, and a history of prior WBRT were not associated with regional failure (Table 3).”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“After univariate analyses, age at diagnosis, histology, MRI maximum axial dimension, time interval between diagnostic MRI and first treatment, time interval between CT simulation and first treatment, fractionated versus single fraction SRS, total dose, GTV, PTV, max GTV dose, presence of normal brain constraint, and a history of prior WBRT were not associated with regional failure (Table 4).”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
