12 Early clinical experience of lung stereotactic body radiotherapy using deep inspiration breath-hold with real-time tumour tracking

We report on our clinical experience implementing stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early stage non-small cell lung cancer using deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) and real-time tumour tracking, via implanted electromagnetic transponders (EMT). Preliminary data for our first two patients are presented, SBRT lung treatments using real-time tracking with EMT are ongoing at our institution.
