Abstract
Clinical use of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has increased dramatically over the last 2 decades and is the current standard-of-care in cases of inoperable early stage non-small-cell lung cancer. While surgical resection remains the standard-of-care for operable patients, several ongoing clinical trials are investigating the role of SBRT in these operative candidates as well. Taking into consideration the expanding role and utility of SBRT, this paper will: review the historical basis of SBRT; examine landmark trials establishing the framework for the current body of evidence; discuss areas of active and future research; and identify epidemiological trends that are likely to further increase the use of SBRT.
