Effect of Tumor Location and Dosimetric Predictors for Chest Wall Toxicity in Single Fraction SBRT for Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

ConclusionRate of CWT with SF-SBRT is similar to rates published for fractionated SBRT, with most CWT being low grade. Tumor location relative to CW is not a contraindication to SF-SBRT, though rates rise significantly with abutment. Rib D1cc and CW D1cc and D5cc may be used as predictors of CWT.
