The research progress on stereotactic body radiation therapy for stageⅠnon-small cell lung cancer / 实用肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Image guided stereotactic body radiation therapy ( SBRT) has emerged as a promising technolo-gy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) increasingly ,particularly for patients that are unable to tolerate or deny operation ,with a trend to replace surgical resection .Abundant clinical research results have dem-onstrated that SBRT is safe to yield local control rate of more than 90%without excessive toxicity in early -stage NSCLC.In this review ,we discuss the research progress on treating stage I NSCLC with SBRT .
