Significant reduction in dose per fraction below a conventional level of 1.8–2.0 Gy to give a greater total dose in a conventional overall treatment time. Different from accelerated fractionation where a conventional number of dose fractions is delivered in a significantly shortened overall treatment time in order to reduce the opportunity for tumor cell regeneration during treatment.
