Abstract:
Stereotactic body radiation therapy had a history for over 20 years since it was applied in elinical treatment,with promising outcomes in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and lung metastases.Air Force General Hospital was one of the earliest institutes which had launched SBRT in China.Our self-developed γ-ray SBRT technology was used to treat early-stage NSCLC and lung metastases.The adverse effects and cost of γ-ray SBRT were less than those for foreign technology.In conclusion,it is suitable for our national situation and worth to be widely introduced.
