2022 Annual Meeting - Difficult Cases in Lung SBRT

This is an education session focused on difficult cases in the use of lung SBRT. It will include a set of challenging cases followed by a short didactic session on each challenging topic. The cases/topics will include: 1) SBRT for a large (>5 cm) primary, node negative tumor. This case will address the use of adjuvant systemic therapy and safe delivery of SBRT for large tumors. 2) SBRT for an ultracentral lung tumor. This case will address patient selection, risk/benefit analysis, dose constraints and expected outcomes when using SBRT for an ultracentral lung cancer. 3) SBRT in a patient with interstitial lung disease. This case will address risks, benefits and alternatives to SBRT for ILD patients with lung cancer.

Target Audience

The activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation physicists, radiation therapists and radiation oncology residents.

Learning Objectives

    Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

    • Describe the appropriate use of lung SBRT in challenging clinical scenarios.
    • Appropriately assess complex patients for lung SBRT and discuss the risks and benefits of lung SBRT with these patients.
