Stereotactic body radiation therapy: The report of AAPM Task Group 101

TLDR
The task group report includes a review of the literature to identify reported clinical findings and expected outcomes for this treatment modality.
Abstract
Task Group 101 of the AAPM has prepared this report for medical physicists, clinicians, and therapists in order to outline the best practice guidelines for the external-beam radiation therapy technique referred to as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The task group report includes a review of the literature to identify reported clinical findings and expected outcomes for this treatment modality. Information is provided for establishing a SBRT program, including protocols, equipment, resources, and QA procedures. Additionally, suggestions for developing consistent documentation for prescribing, reporting, and recording SBRT treatment delivery is provided.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy for oligometastases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review published work showing that SBRT offers durable local control and the potential for progression-free survival in non-liver, nonlung oligometastatic disease at a range of sites.

A Randomized Trial of Surgery in the Treatment of Single Metastases to the Brain

TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with cancer and a single metastasis to the brain who receive treatment with surgical resection plus radiotherapy live longer, have fewer recurrences of cancer in the brain, and have a better quality of life than similar patients treated with radiotherapy alone.

Precise and real-time measurement of 3D tumor motion in lung due to breathing and heartbeat, measured during radiotherapy.

TL;DR: Tumor motion and hysteresis could be modeled with an asymmetric function with varying asymmetry and can lower treatment efficiency in real-time tumor tracking-gated treatments or lead to a geographic miss in conventional or active breathing controlled treatments.
