Stereotacttic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) targets small tumors with large radiation doses without damaging nearby healthy tissue. It can deliver the optimal dose of radiation in fewer treatment sessions than conventional radiation therapy. It’s a noninvasive alternative to surgery for some lung, prostate, liver and pancreatic cancers. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a cancer treatment that delivers highly concentrated doses of targeted radiation to a single or solitary tumor. A type of stereotactic radiosurgery, SBRT is a technological advancement in the field of radiation therapy.

Unlike conventional radiation, SBRT delivers the optimal dosage of radiation over a shorter time period (days, not weeks). It delivers large radiation doses to the tumor itself while limiting the amount of radiation going to nearby healthy tissue and organs, where it could cause damage. SBRT also requires fewer treatments than conventional radiation therapy. This may decrease your risk of side effects.

Usage of SBRT

Radiation oncologists use SBRT to treat small tumors. Your provider may also recommend SBRT if you have health problems that prevent you from getting surgery. SBRT can be used in many parts of the body, including the lung, liver, bone, lymph nodes, prostate, breast, kidneys, head and neck, and other soft tissues.
