[Stereotactic radiotherapy for operable stage I non-small cell lung cancer].

Standard treatment stage of non-small cell lung cancer is currently surgery. For inoperable patients, stereotactic body radiotherapy is the reference treatment. This non-invasive technique has developed considerably and its excellent results in terms of carcinological control and tolerance raise the question of its indication for operable patients, especially for old patients and/or with comorbidities. This article reviews the available data in the literature of the place of stereotactic body radiotherapy for medically operable patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer.
