Abstract
Aims. To determine the effectiveness of robotic stereotactic radiotherapy with image guidance and real-time respiratory tracking against early stage peripheral lung cancer. Materials and methods. We treated patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with CyberKnife® and analysed their clinical characteristics and outcomes. All patients had co-morbid conditions that precluded lobectomy. The clinical target volume (CTV) included the gross tumour volume (GTV) and a 6 mm margin in all...
