Authors' recommendations: The introduction of SBRT at radiotherapy facilities should: Be limited to the indications selected on the basis of the available SBRT efficacy and safety evidence according to the patient's needs and the technology's efficiency; Be used in clinical trials involving indications for which the efficacy and safety have not yet been sufficiently demonstrated, such as prostate cancer; Be included in a comprehensive oncology quality assurance program; Be avoided in units that treat fewer than 25 patients a year with this method. This standard should be validated for Québec. Be centralized at university hospitals; Be accessible for patients from facilities that do not have the necessary equipment.
