Stereotactic radiotherapy is a term collectively used to describe the radiation treatment techniques that allow for the delivery of highly precise ionizing radiation. It is usually a high dose per session in single or few fractions. This treatment approach has been in medical use for over six decades and has primarily evolved in the last two decades. Many patients benefit from this unique non-conventional radiotherapy approach. Its indications include various malignant, benign and functional problems in cranial and body sites. This technique is not widespread in developing countries compared to developed countries. This work is an educational narrative review for learners in radiation oncology. We aim to share the knowledge of this practice to improve precision radiation oncology globally. This review summarizes the basics of stereotactic radiotherapy, the technical prerequisites, the clinical considerations, the practical recommendations and the learning points from each site-specific region.
立体定向放射治疗是一个统称，用于描述能够提供高精度电离辐射的放射治疗技术。它通常是单次或少数几次分割照射，每次剂量较高。这种治疗方法已在医学上应用了六十多年，主要在过去二十年中得到发展。许多患者受益于这种独特的非常规放射治疗方法。其适应症包括颅脑和身体部位的各种恶性、良性和功能性问题。与发达国家相比，这种技术在发展中国家并不普遍。这项工作是为放射肿瘤学学习者进行的教育性叙述性综述。我们旨在分享这种实践知识，以在全球范围内提高精确放射肿瘤学水平。本综述总结了立体定向放射治疗的基础知识、技术前提条件、临床考虑因素、实用建议以及每个特定部位的学习要点。
