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.
