TLDR
In this paper, the radiobiological parameters for liver and lung metastases treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) are poorly defined and a project aimed at estimating these parameters from published tumor control probability (TCP) data, and separately for metastases with colorectal cancer (CRC) and non-CRC histology.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases: A systematic review.

TL;DR: SBRT for liver oligometastases is an effective option for patients with advanced CRC, with encouraging local control and survival, with a moderate/poor linear relationship between the SBRT (BED10) dose and LC.

Phase II trial on SBRT for unresectable liver metastases: long-term outcome and prognostic factors of survival after 5 years of follow-up

TL;DR: Long-term results of this Phase II study suggest the efficacy and safety of SBRT for un-resectable liver metastases after 5-year of follow up and selection of cases with positive prognostic factors may improve long-term survival of these oligo-metastastic patients.

Bayesian measures of model complexity and fit

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of comparing complex hierarchical models in which the number of parameters is not clearly defined and derive a measure pD for the effective number in a model as the difference between the posterior mean of the deviances and the deviance at the posterior means of the parameters of interest, which is related to other information criteria and has an approximate decision theoretic justification.

Enhanced secondary analysis of survival data: reconstructing the data from published Kaplan-Meier survival curves

TL;DR: An algorithm that maps from digitised curves back to KM data by finding numerical solutions to the inverted KM equations is developed, which is a reliable tool for meta-analysis and cost-effectiveness analyses of RCTs reporting time-to-event data.

Universal survival curve and single fraction equivalent dose: useful tools in understanding potency of ablative radiotherapy.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to offer an alternative method of analyzing the effect of SBRT by constructing a universal survival curve (USC) that provides superior approximation of the experimentally measured survival curves in the ablative, high-dose range without losing the strengths of the LQ model around the shoulder.

Stereotactic single-dose radiation therapy of liver tumors: results of a phase I/II trial.

TL;DR: Stereotactic single-dose radiation therapy is a feasible method for the treatment of singular inoperable liver metastases with the potential of a high local tumor control rate and low morbidity.
