Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SRS/SABR), a highly focused treatment for tumors, limits the radiation dose to surrounding organs.
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a type of radiation therapy that uses many beams of energy. The beams are carefully targeted to focus on growths of cells, which are called tumors, anywhere in the body. SBRT is used to treat tumors in the lungs, spine, liver, neck, lymph nodes or other soft tissues. SBRT is sometimes called stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). When used on the brain, it is often called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). SBRT uses 3D or 4D imaging and highly focused radiation beams to send high doses of radiation to ...
Abstract ; Background and purpose : Recent progress in diagnostics and treatment of metastatic cancer patients have improved survival substantially. These developments also affect local therapies, with treatment aims shifting from short-term palliation to long-term symptom or disease control. There is consequently a need to better define the value of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of spinal metastases. Methods : This ESTRO clinical practice guideline is based on a system...
