Template-assisted 192Ir-based stereotactic ablative brachytherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for operable peripheral non-small cell lung cancer: a phase I clinical trial.

Conclusions: The efficacy of template-assisted SABT for neoadjuvant therapy was significant in operable peripheral NSCLC. Moreover, no serious adverse reactions were observed; when the coplanar template guidance technique was applied, dosimetric parameters were in good agreement between the actual SABT plan and the preoperative simulated plan.
