Interested in delivering palliative radiation using diagnostic CTs rather than a CT simulation?

See below for a discussion of some of the data.

We are looking to feature research focused on:
1) Growing the evidence base for SBRT
2) Clinical implementation of SBRT
3) Technical or biological innovation in SBRT

Hey Rad Onc community!

The Red Journal @ijrobp.bsky.social is calling for papers for a new special issue:

SBRT - From Clinical Trials to Your Clinic

Details below...⬇️⬇️⬇️

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy vs Sorafenib Alone in Hepatocellular Carcinoma This phase 3 randomized clinical trial evaluates whether stereotactic body radiation therapy improves outcomes in patients with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma compared with sorafenib alone.

Todas is HCC day!
- RTOG 1112
- HCC unsuitable for or refractory to local-regional Tx (n=177)
- SBRT & Sorafenib vs Sorafenib
- After adjustment for stratification factors, improved OS after SBRT (HR 0.72)
- Median PFS improved from 5.5 to 9.2 mo (HR 0.55)

Radiation Myelitis After Hypofractionated Spine Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy This cohort study characterizes the risk of radiation myelitis after spine stereotactic body radiation therapy to update the current dosimetric constraints.

Safe practice of spine SBRT requires high-quality data about SC dose tolerance
- Cohort study 2051 pts
- 30 cases of RM, 19 of which G3 to G4
- 2a rate of G1-4 RM 1.8%
- cord dose D0.1cc of 19.1Gy / Dmax of 20.8Gy = 1.0% risk of G3 to G4 RM at 2 years
