Machine-learning prediction of treatment response to stereotactic body radiation therapy in oligometastatic gynecological cancer: a multi-institutional study

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been increasingly adopted as an effective method of treatment of limited cancer metastases, owing to the high rates of local control, low risk of toxicities and its potential to be delivered to almost all anatomic sites [1,2]. In particular, SBRT represents today an alternative to metastasectomy in the oligometastatic scenario [3], defined as an intermediate stage of the disease between locoregionally advanced and wide spread metastatic disease, but still treatable curatively [4].
