The ultimate goal of radiation oncology research is to improve clinical care.  As a specialty, we tackle diverse research questions, addressing every type of cancer and encompassing cancer biology and radiation physics.  But despite our best efforts, evidence-based medicine cannot provide 1 clear

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 journal activity provides practitioners with the knowledge regarding recent treatment advances in lung cancer, including factors that may influence survival in patients with brain metastases with NSCLC and SCLC. It will also quantify how these factors impact survival.

This journal activity provides practitioners with the knowledge needed to better interpret imaging studies performed following lung SBRT and what features should lead to concern for local recurrence.

Major decreases in cancer mortality have been driven by improvements in the management of lung cancer. The explanation for these survival improvements is complex but largely driven by the increasing use of systemic therapies in early stage disease such as immunotherapy.
