Stereotactic body radiotherapy is a highly technology-driven treatment modality. The wider availability of in-room imaging and advanced radiotherapy delivery techniques has led to more institutions offering stereotactic ablative therapy (SABR). While some technological challenges remain, the crucial point for the next generation of SABR clinical trials is that today's technology is used correctly and close to its optimal potential for accuracy. The credentialing procedure of SABR needs to be extensive, but this investment will benefit the trial itself, the patients and the professionals involved.
立体定向体部放射治疗是一种高度技术驱动的治疗方式。机房内成像和先进放疗输送技术的更广泛应用使得更多机构能够提供立体定向消融放疗(SABR)。尽管仍存在一些技术挑战,但下一代SABR临床试验的关键在于正确使用当今的技术,并使其接近其在准确性方面的最佳潜力。SABR的认证程序需要全面,但这种投入将使试验本身、患者以及相关专业人员受益。
