Liver lesions are common in oncology, and various focal treatments can be used, such as surgery, chemoembolization, radiofrequency, and systemic treatment. However, these treatments are often not feasible for a number of reasons, including the patient's general health or the characteristics of the lesion itself. Additionally, localized relapses may occur after focal treatments.

Despite the availability of several studies, the toxicity profile of SBRT has not been comprehensively described. This real-world evidence study assessed the efficacy and toxicities associated with this regimen, and potential prognosis factors for genitourinary toxicities.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy has primarily been evaluated retrospectively to date. The most commonly used dose schedules are 40Gy in five fractions, 42Gy in three fractions, and 26Gy in one fraction.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Understanding intra-fractional prostate motions is crucial for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). No studies have focused on the intra-fractional prostate motions during re-irradiation with SBRT. The objective was to evaluate these translational and rotational motions in primary treated patients and in the context of re-irradiation.
