Prostate Cancer Therapy with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
2007The 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 for spinal metastases
Clinical and Translational Oncology, 2010The 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

Image-Guidance for Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
Medical Dosimetry, 2007The 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 Prostate Cancer
Future Oncology, 2011Stereotactic 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: Fractionated Radiation Therapy Perspective
2008The introduction of intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery in 1951 is widely attributed to Lars Leksell [1]. As initially developed, the method delivered a single dose of radiation to a target lesion, which was localized using the principles of stereotaxy.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for lung metastases
Lung Cancer, 2012Stereotactic 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 metastases
European Journal of Cancer, 2009Although 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 Hepatocellular Carcinoma
American Society of Clinical Oncology Educational Book, 2012Overview: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), in which highly conformal potent radiation doses are delivered in fewer fractions than traditional radiation therapy (RT), is an increasingly popular treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The great majority of HCCs smaller than 6 cm and with Child-Pugh A liver function are controlled with SBRT ...

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer
Chest, 2013Lung cancer remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Because many patients with non-small cell lung cancer are elderly and have multiple comorbid conditions, many with potentially curable disease are unfit to undergo definitive surgical resection.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for liver tumours
Cancer/Radiothérapie, 2014Recent 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.
