Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a new treatment modality. To confirm the safety and efficacy, the Radiation Therapy Study Group of the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) has started a phase II study of SBRT for stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (JCOG 0403). This study is ongoing with a strict quality control and quality assurance program, and the results will indicate whether a future phase III trial comparing SBRT with surgery is warranted. In addition, international collaboration will be critical to establish the role of SBRT in the treatment of lung cancer.
立体定向体部放射治疗(SBRT)是一种新的治疗方式。为证实其安全性和有效性,日本临床肿瘤学会(JCOG)放射治疗研究组已启动一项针对IA期非小细胞肺癌的SBRT II期研究(JCOG 0403)。该研究正在严格的质量控制和质量保证计划下进行,其结果将表明是否有必要开展未来将SBRT与手术进行比较的III期试验。此外,国际合作对于确立SBRT在肺癌治疗中的作用至关重要。
