Altered fractionation

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
