Longitudinal assessment of anchored transponder migration following lung stereotactic body radiation therapy.

CONCLUSION: No significant difference in the rates of fiducial marker retention and migration were noted when comparing patients who had anchored transponders placed into small airways and a 2:1 matched cohort of patients who had other commercially available lung fiducial markers placed. In both groups, no late or chronic toxicity appeared to be related to the implanted fiducial markers. PMID: 30387242 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
