Authors' recommendations:
In conclusion, SABR offers good local control, which seems to be associated with a survival benefit. The available data suggest that SABR shows better efficacy than standard external-beam radiotherapy in inoperable patients and in operable patients who refuse surgery. However, with regard to the treatment of operable patients, the CEPO considers that the current body of evidence is not sufficient to recognize SABR as an equivalent alternative to surgery. Lastly, the data on the use of SABR in reirradiation settings is too fragmentary to draw any conclusions regarding its efficacy. The observed severe toxicity data urge caution.
