Article Title: How 3 academic centers prescribe stereotactic body radiation therapy for primary lung cancer
Abstract: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is commonly used to treat early-stage, node-negative primary lung cancer, but society guidelines provide limited information regarding several technical aspects of SBRT, leading to potential variation in practice. In this report, we present the technical details used by 3 academic institutions when treating a solitary primary lung tumor up to 5 cm in dimension with curative-intent SBRT. We provide specifications outlined in major active or recently completed clinical trials. Among the participating institutions, we discovered multiple divergences in treatment parameters, including, but not limited to, prescription dose and desired degree of heterogeneity within the target volume. It is unclear to what extent these differences in parameters might affect tumor control or toxicity, but updated consensus guidelines addressing the relevant SBRT prescription details may help standardize practice patterns. © 2022 American Society for Radiation Oncology
