Observation of a dose–control relationship for lung and liver tumors after stereotactic body radiation therapy
R McCammon, TE Schefter, LE Gaspar… - International Journal of …, 2009 - Elsevier
PURPOSE: To determine prognostic factors for local control of primary or metastatic tumors
within the lung or liver treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) within a single
institution. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The records of 141 consecutive patients with 246
lesions treated with three-fraction SBRT from Oct 1999 through Aug 2005 were reviewed.
Local control was assessed radiographically. Univariate and multivariate analyses were
performed to evaluate the influence of the following factors on local control: total dose …
