[Technical aspects and indications of extracranial stereotactic radiotherapy]. Cancer Radiother. 2018 Jul 28;: Authors: Bazire L, Darmon I, Calugaru V, Costa É, Dumas JL, Kirova YM Abstract Extracranial stereotactic radiotherapy has developed considerably in recent years and is now an important part of the therapeutic alternatives to be offered to patients with cancer. It offers opportunities that have progressively led physicians to reconsider the therapeutic strategy, for example in the case of local recurrence in irradiated territory or oligometastatic disease. The literature on the subject is rich but, yet, there is no real consensus on therapeutic indications. This is largely due to the lack of prospective, randomized studies that have evaluated this technique with sufficient recoil. We propose a review of the literature on the technical aspects and indications of extracranial stereotactic radiotherapy. PMID: 30064828 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
