Background: While SBRT to NSBM has become common, particularly in the oligometastatic population, the approach to treating non-spine bone metastases (NSBM) with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) varies widely across institutions and clinical trial protocols. We present a comprehensive systematic review of the literatures to inform practice recommendations on behalf of the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS).
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

This review seeks to provide a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge on diagnosing and managing BA-associated cholangitis while identifying gaps in the existing literature. A scoping literature review was conducted to gather global insights into the definition, evaluation, and management of post-Kasai cholangitis, illustrated through data from the Swiss Biliary Atresia Registry (SBAR).
