“…3 It is recognised that a more centralised distribution of resources and a larger catchment in the UK supports established, Table 1. Key recommendations for safe practice of stereotactic body (ablative) radiation therapy Departments recognise that SABR is an advanced radiotherapy planning and delivery technique that requires multidisciplinary input from ROs, RTs and ROMPs.…”

“…When introducing SABR into clinical practice, it is recommended that all three disciplines (i.e. RO, RT and ROMP) are present at the patient's first SABR treatment (or trial set-up, if that is used) to ensure that the patient is set-up correctly, that patient repositioning using image guidance is acceptable, 3 and to directly manage any clinical issues and/or treatment-related toxicities. For subsequent fractions within the same SABR course, the RO must be present for critical decision making and otherwise immediately available.…”

“…Each will possess advantages and disadvantages that are well described in National Radiotherapy Implementation Group (NRIG) UK guidelines, CARO guidelines and TG101-SBRT AAPM guidelines. 2,3,12 To deliver the high doses per fraction involved in SABR image guidance, capability should be carefully considered. The ability to have online evaluation and correction for intra-fraction errors is a minimum standard.…”

Guidelines for safe practice of stereotactic body (ablative) radiation therapy

et al. 2015

SummaryThe uptake of stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR)/ stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) worldwide has been rapid. The Australian and New Zealand Faculty of Radiation Oncology (FRO) assembled an expert panel of radiation oncologists, radiation oncology medical physicists and radiation therapists to establish guidelines for safe practice of SABR. Draft guidelines were reviewed by a number of international experts in the field and then distributed through the membership of the FRO. Members of the Australian Institute of Radiography and the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine were also asked to comment on the draft. Evidence-based recommendations (where applicable) address aspects of departmental staffing, procedures and equipment, quality assurance measures, as well as organisational considerations for delivery of SABR treatments. Central to the guidelines is a set of key recommendations for departments undertaking SABR. These guidelines were developed collaboratively to provide an educational guide and reference for radiation therapy service providers to ensure appropriate care of patients receiving SABR.
