Safety Considerations in Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

Seminars in Radiation Oncology, 2017
Although many error pathways are common to both stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and conventional radiation therapy, SBRT presents a special set of challenges including short treatment courses and high-doses, an enhanced reliance on imaging, technical challenges associated with commissioning, special resource requirements for staff and ...

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Spinal Metastases

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2012
Based on reports of safety and efficacy, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for treatment of malignant spinal tumors was initiated at our institution. We report prospective results of this population at Mayo Clinic.Between April 2008 and December 2010, 85 lesions in 66 patients were treated with SBRT for spinal metastases. Twenty-two lesions (25.8%)

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for liver metastases

European Journal of Cancer, 2009
Although resection is the standard of care for liver metastasis, 80-90% of patients are not resectable at diagnosis. Advances in combination chemotherapy, particularly with targeted agents, have increased tumour response and survival in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer, but these techniques have limitations and may be associated ...

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Future Oncology, 2011
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a promising treatment option for prostate cancer. Hypofractionation regimens, such as SBRT, may be more advantageous compared with conventional regimens because low α:β ratio of prostate cancer has high sensitivity to dose per fraction.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for spinal metastases

Clinical and Translational Oncology, 2010
The goal of this paper is to expose the clinical results and review of the literature of the treatment of spinal metastases with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) presenting one case. A spinal metastases from rectal cancer treated with a single dose of 18Gy is presented. The following physics aspects are exposed: Treatment volume, tumor volume

Prostate Cancer Therapy with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

2007
The purpose of this work is to provide background and current directions of image guidance for localized prostate cancer treatments. We will describe the external beam hypofractionation protocol for localized prostate cancer currently in progress at Stanford University and the biological bases for large fractions in an abbreviated treatment course for ...

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy: Scope of the Literature

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2011
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is derived from the techniques of stereotactic radiosurgery used to treat lesions in the brain and spine. It combines multiple finely collimated radiation beams and stereotaxy to deliver a high dose of radiation to an extracranial target in the body in a single dose or a few fractions.

Image-Guidance for Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

Medical Dosimetry, 2007
The term stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) describes a recently introduced external beam radiation paradigm by which small lesions outside the brain are treated under stereotactic conditions, in a single or few fractions of high-dose radiation delivery.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for lung metastases

Lung Cancer, 2012
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has an emerging role in patients affected with pulmonary metastases. Purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of SBRT in a cohort of patients treated between 2003 and 2009 at our institution.A total of 61 patients with oligometastatic lung tumors (single pulmonary nodules in 73.7%) were ...

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for liver tumours

Cancer/Radiothérapie, 2014
Recent improvements in radiation therapy delivery techniques provide new tools to treat patients with liver-confined disease, either with hepatocellular carcinoma or liver metastases. An appropriate selection of the patients made during a multidisciplinary specialized tumour board is mandatory.
