Stereotactic body radiotherapy for peripheral non-small cell lung cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can treat the lesions in asurgical manner and inhibit tumor cell proliferation.Furthermore,it has a character of non-invasive,which shortens the duration of treatment.Although surgery and radiotherapy are the major means for early stage peripheral non-small cell lung cancer,some studies in recent years show that SBRT has certain advantages in local control ratio and adverse reaction compared with radiotherapy,and acquires the similar curative effect with surgery.
