Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a radiotherapy technique that
provides radiation from many different positions around the body. The
rays
are focused on the tumor, with this we achieve that the lesion receives a
high dose of radiation and the tissues around it receive a low dose,
thus reducing
the risk of side effects. It is applied between 1 and 5 sessions, and
therefore it is possible to reduce the treatment time compared with a
conventional
treatment. This radiation therapy is also called ablative stereotactic
radiotherapy (SABR). The SBRT for the treatment of pulmonary sarcoma
metastases
can play an important role in the following circumstances: Inoperable
metastases at critical sites; recurrent metastases; Inoperable patients
due to
limited lung function. And especially in metastasis of tumor types
particularly resistant to the dose of radiotherapy used in previous SBRT
techniques
such as chordoma, chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, where, thanks to the
development of SBRT, it is possible to deliver a higher biological dose.
With
this new technique, one can speak of providing excellent local control
of pulmonary sarcoma metastases with an impact on survival in selected
patients, without being invasive, very well tolerated and with minimal
toxicity, mainly in those patients who for different reasons they cannot
be offered
metastasectomy. The aim of this paper is to review the scientific
literature regarding the treatment of pulmonary metastases of sarcoma by
SBRT.
