“…Size of the nodule was determined by the average of its length (longest nodule diameter) and width (widest diameter perpendicular to length) [5] in lung window settings (Level-600 Hounsfield unit (HU), Width 1600 HU). A nodule was considered calcified if calcification was visually detected in mediastinal window settings (Level + 40, Width 400) [4] and/or its attenuation value is greater than 200 HU [6].…”

“…This model was validated by Herder et al [41]. Inclusion of fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging might further improve the accuracy of the prediction model [42, 43]. If malignancy is highly likely based on the described criteria, immediate SBRT without histopathological confirmation is justified [44], as is also standard practice in thoracic surgery [45].…”

This report from the Stereotactic Radiotherapy Working Group of the German Society of Radiation Oncology (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Radioonkologie, DEGRO) provides a definition of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) that agrees with that of other international societies. SBRT is defined as a method of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) that accurately delivers a high irradiation dose to an extracranial target in one or few treatment fractions. Detailed recommendations concerning the principles and practice of SBRT for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are given. These cover the entire treatment process; from patient selection, staging, treatment planning and delivery to follow-up. SBRT was identified as the method of choice when compared to best supportive care (BSC), conventionally fractionated radiotherapy and radiofrequency ablation. Based on current evidence, SBRT appears to be on a par with sublobar resection and is an effective treatment option in operable patients who refuse lobectomy.
