Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
- Newly emerging radiotherapy treatment method that delivers a high dose of radiation to the target, utilizing either a single or multiple doses with a high degree of precision.
- Delivery of very focused, precise and biologically potent radiation to tumors outside the brain.
- SBRT is an ablative therapy to both tumor and normal tissue
- Rapid dose fall-off leads to less radiation dose to critical adjacent organs and tissues
- Measures to account for patient motion such as breathing
- Candidates for SBRT include unresectable early stage lung cancer, spine tumors, liver tumors
