Popis: Relapsed gynecologic cancers are difficult to control in the pelvis, especially when surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments have already been administered. For this clinical scenario, stereotactic body radiation therapy has emerged as a meaningful treatment strategy. The new Vero stereotactic body radiation therapy system uses coplanar and noncoplanar radiation treatment beams with submillimeter precision to treat cancer targets. This study describes the initial clinical experience with Vero hybrid arc stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy to treat relapsed gynecologic cancers detected in the pelvis.
