We read the article “Stereotactic radiosurgery for poor performance status patients” by Kubicek et al recently published in your journal. The authors concluded that patients with poor performance status (PS) could be ideal candidates for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), given the favorable logistics of singlefraction treatment and a potential survival advantage. From our point of view, however, further consideration needs to be given regarding the use of these technologies in poor PS patients.

Abstract
We read the article “Stereotactic radiosurgery for poor performance status patients” by Kubicek et al recently published in your journal. The authors concluded that patients with poor performance status (PS) could be ideal candidates for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), given the favorable logistics of singlefraction treatment and a potential survival advantage. From our point of view, however, further consideration needs to be given regarding the use of these technologies in poor PS patients.
