Abstract

Since decades, stereotactic radiotherapy has spread out worldwide. Published results are very numerous. To clarify obviousness among all the publications, this recommendation review was written. Voluntarily, authors limited analysis of international best evidence literature on malignant tumors of lung, liver, prostate, head and neck, and metastasis of bone and brain. These data could be used to advance standardization and quality improvement of treatments performed in the nationwide radiotherapy departments and can provide useful guidance for centers worldwide.
