Background And Purpose: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) carries potentially higher risks for ultracentral (UC) NSCLC with limited prospective data to guide decision making. We conducted a secondary analysis from a randomized trial of SBRT and conventionally hypofractionated radiation (CRT) to assess these risks.

Materials And Methods: Patients (n = 233) with medically inoperable stage I NSCLC were recruited from 2014 to 2020.
