The Benefits of Single Fraction Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

Recent research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center led by Anurag Singh, MD, Director of Radiation Research, has shown that for patients with peripherally located lung cancer, one treatment of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is equally effective as longer courses radiation therapy.

    Single fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is as effective as multiple fractions for peripherally located lung cancer.

  • 2

    SBRT offers lower treatment costs and increased convenience, especially during the pandemic, by reducing patient visits.

  • 3

    Research indicates that one fraction of SBRT is equally effective compared to three, four, or five fractions.

  • 4

    National and international guidelines now support broader adoption of single-fraction SBRT for lung cancer treatment.

  • 5

    Dr. Singh's ongoing research aims to explore single-fraction radiation for patients with lung metastases from any primary site.
