Perspectives from a Physicist, Biologist and Clinician: Unrealized Opportunities in Spatially Fractionated Radiotherapy
We have observed the evolution of spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) primarily to manage metastatic cancer patients in the palliative care setting. Given recent advances in how SFRT can be delivered, can this therapeutic modality be optimized beyond the palliative care setting?
