Difficult Cases in Lung SBRT

This activity focuses on difficult cases in the use of lung SBRT. It includes a set of challenging cases followed by a short didactic session on each challenging topic. The cases/topics include: 1) SBRT for a large (>5 cm) primary, node negative tumor. This case addresses the use of adjuvant systemic therapy and safe delivery of SBRT for large tumors. 2) SBRT for an ultracentral lung tumor. This case addresses 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 addresses risks, benefits and alternatives to SBRT for ILD patients with lung cancer. 

Topics:

  1. Lung SBRT for Tumors Larger Than 5 cm
    Megan E. Daly, MD 
  2. SBRT for Ultracentral Lung Tumors
    Meredith E. Giuliani, MD, PhD, MBBS, MEd
  3. SBRT in Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease and Q&A
    Jeremy P. Harris, MD, MPhil

This activity is available from July 25, 2023, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on July 24, 2025.
