    Dear all,
    I have the following question to community:
    I have melanoma (Braf mutation) and now I have metastasis in spine L2 only.
    Doctor has advised to make Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in L2
    with the following dosage : 5 fractions with 4 Gray per fraction (20 total)
    From my searching via internet I guess that it’s not enough in case of melanoma, I mean dose per fraction and total dose.
    Did someone have that experience with radiotherapy in spine?
    Pls advice
