Aim:
The main purpose of this work is to give a technical description and present the properties of the liver SBRT protocol implemented in the Greater Poland Cancer Centre (GPCC) in Poznan, Poland.
Background:
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for liver metastasis is a non-invasive therapeutic option which enables irradiation of a small target in the body with a high dose.
Materials And Methods:
This study presents details of our linac-based liver SBRT protocol. Special emphasis has been placed on fiducial implantation, patient preparation (CT scanning, immobilization), treatment planning, and its implementation.
Results:
The liver SBRT treatment course implemented in the GPCC consists of three fractions to deliver a total of 45 Gy. Fraction delivery details with description of patient positioning (localization of liver metastasis) are presented below.
Conclusions:
The literature validation of the assumptions concerning the steps of the GPCC linac-based liver SBRT procedure show their potential for an effective and patient friendly implementation.
