There is a method that does alter the dosing from fraction to fraction and targets areas in varying amounts. I'm no expert here but it seems logical that the changing dose over the standard 35, 7 week timeframe can indeed be a factor in why radiated areas seem to be more/less impacted over treatment. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14644486http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23824134
