  5. 4. Stereotactic body radiation therapy of primary lung cancer and metastases

    Författare :Karin Lindberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been assessed by both retrospective and prospective studies showing excellent treatment outcome with acceptable toxicity and high grade of local control. However, late presenting effects as well as further evaluating toxic effects in relation to dose-volume parameters at high-fraction doses and clinical characteristics is of the utmost importance in order to further develop the clinical application of this method.
