I think the number of treatments varies a great deal depending on the position, size and stage of the tumors and the age of the patients counts too. Some may receive more (I heard some get 60!) and some get less (under 30).I was originally arranged for 42 rounds but then extended to 48 towards the last week of original treatment. I also read books that the maximum dose can be about 7000(don't know the unit for it). Not sure if it is correct or not.
