Accumulated Delivered Dose Response of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Liver Metastases
Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine whether the accumulated dose using image guided radiation therapy is a stronger predictor of clinical outcomes than the planned dose in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for liver metastases.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: From 2003 to 2009, 81 patients with 142 metastases were treated in institutional review board-approved SBRT studies (5-10 fractions). Patients were treated during free breathing (with or without …
