The emerging evidence for Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

Frameless Image-Guided Intracranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Clinical Outcomes for Brain Metastases

“…Frameless radiosurgery techniques using IGRT and noninvasive immobilzation have been previously described for the treatment of lesions in the body, particularly the spine (11)(12)(13). However, frame-based radiosurgery techniques have predominated in the treatment of brain lesions.…”

Acta Oncologica – achievements during 2006 and a look at the future

“…A broad international faculty constituting the key persons participated and produced 29 original articles published in a special issue of Acta Oncologica within an exceptionally short time period. The symposium has truly 'been' instrumental in adding new fuel toward creating the emerging evidence for stereotactic body radiotherapy [5].…”

“…After pioneering work by Swedish scientists in the early and mid 1990s [3,4], its use has grown considerably, however, still without a solid scientific evidence-base. In order to evaluate the current knowledge and technology and facilitate the creations of multi-institutional and co-operative group studies, acquiring sufficient scientific evidence, a 3 rd Acta Oncologica Symposium was organized in Copenhagen June 15 Á17, 2006 [5,6]. A broad international faculty constituting the key persons participated and produced 29 original articles published in a special issue of Acta Oncologica within an exceptionally short time period.…”

BIGART 2019 – adapting to the future

“…Once again, an ACTA ONCOLOGICA Symposium was devoted to biological image-guided adaptive radiotherapy (BIGART) and its related activities, and once again, about 200 clinicians and scientists were gathered in Aarhus (Figure 1) to discuss how to progress in radiation oncology and how to use this modality optimally within the multidisciplinary treatment of cancer. This year's symposium, the sixth in a row [1][2][3][4][5][6], took place back to back with the scientific opening symposium at Danish Centre for Particle Therapy (DCPT), and as a consequence it especially attracted participants with interest in particle therapy.…”
