Abstract

over 70. Mean tumor volume was 5.38 cm (0.6-143.3). Transient grade 1 or 2 acute toxicities occurred in 8% of all cases. No acute toxicities grade > 3 were identified. There were no chronic toxicities of any grade. The median followup was 18.6 months (1-65). The 1-year overall survival was 74.5 % for all patients and 78 % for primary tumors. Local control in the irradiated volume is 97 %. Conclusions: SBRT is an excellent treatment option for elderly patients with good performance status. Our encouraging results in terms of survival, local control and toxicity are in line with those reported in recent literature for younger patients.
