Stereotactic ablative radiation therapy for pulmonary metastases: Improving overall survival and identifying subgroups at high risk of local failure.

CONCLUSIONS: SABR for pulmonary metastases was effective and well tolerated. Irradiating limited intrathoracic sites of disease led to improved OS and intrathoracic DM. Higher SABR doses or surgery could be considered for less radio-responsive primary tumors.
