Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) for primary and secondary lung tumours
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) represents a technological breakthrough in radiotherapy technique, with proven benefits to patients in terms of improved tumour control and overall survival. The key components of SABR are described. The current evidence base for SABR for the treatment of primary and secondary lung tumours is appraised, and key ongoing trials are identified.

Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy for lung cancer.
Lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a method of delivering high 'ablative' doses of radiotherapy to tumours in the lung. It was developed at the Karolinska Institute in the early 1990s using the methods established in cranial radiosurgery with multiple beams prescribed to an isodose and using a custom designed stereotactic body frame for immobilisation. Since then, aligned with th...

Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR), also known as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), as defined by the American Society of Radiation Oncology and the American Society of Radiology is an external beam radiation therapy method used to very precisely deliver a high dose of radiation to an extra-cranial target within the body, using either a single dose or a small number of fraction...
متن کاملTechnical know‐how in stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR)
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is an addition to the armamentarium against cancer. The technical requirements for SABR are very stringent, given its very narrow therapeutic window. However, when the principles are strictly followed, it is possible to deliver SABR to extracranial tumours safely and effectively.
متن کاملPredictive factors of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis in primary and metastatic lung tumors treated with stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy
PURPOSE Although stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is widely used therapeutic technique, predictive factors of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after SABR remain undefined. We aimed to investigate the predictive factors affecting RP in patients with primary or metastatic lung tumors who received SABR. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2012 to 2015, we reviewed 59 patients with 72 primary or m...

Lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has recently become more common in the management of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and metastatic lung lesions who are not surgical candidates. By design, SABR is applied to small treatment volumes, using fewer but significantly higher dose fractions, and steep dose gradients. This treatment theoretically maximizes tu...
