Technical 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 کاملA cardiac contouring atlas for radiotherapy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The heart is a complex anatomical organ and contouring the cardiac substructures is challenging. This study presents a reproducible method for contouring left ventricular and coronary arterial segments on radiotherapy CT-planning scans. MATERIAL AND METHODS Segments were defined from cardiology models and agreed by two cardiologists. Reference atlas contours were deline...
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 کاملStereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) for primary and secondary lung tumours
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.
