Commissioning and initial stereotactic ablative radiotherapy experience with Vero
The purpose of this study is to describe the comprehensive commissioning process and initial clinical performance of the Vero linear accelerator, a new radiotherapy device recently installed at UT Southwestern Medical Center specifically developed for delivery of image-guided stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). The Vero system utilizes a ring gantry to integrate a beam delivery platform ...
متن کاملHistorical Development of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been an effective modality for the treatment of benign and malignant cranial disease for over 50 years. Just as SRS revolutionized the practice of neurosurgery, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) in extracranial sites is now challenging conventional wisdom with regard to the practice of radiation oncology. This clinical paradigm change has been enabled...
متن کاملStereotactic 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...
متن کاملStereotactic ablative radiotherapy for lung cancer
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), which is also referred to as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), is defined as “the precise irradiation of an image defined extra-cranial lesion associated with the use of high radiation dose in a small number of fractions”. SABR is a relatively recent advance in the treatment of small peripheral non-small cell lung tumours. The concept of SABR was ...
متن کاملThe Confluence of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy and Tumor Immunology
Stereotactic radiation approaches are gaining more popularity for the treatment of intracranial as well as extracranial tumors in organs such as the liver and lung. Technology, rather than biology, is driving the rapid adoption of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), also known as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), in the clinic due to advances in precise positioning and targetin...
