Popis: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE SBRT is an alternative treatment for early-stage inoperable lung cancer. Metallic FM allow to increase tumour tracking precision by CyberKnife®. Currently used techniques for FM placement have many limitations; transthoracic insertion has a high risk for pneumothorax, endovascular insertion requires expertise and dedicated angiography infrastructure and endobronchial linear-gold FM dislocate frequently. This is the first study to assess the safety and efficacy of cs-FM endobronchial insertion under fluoroscopy with or without R-EBUS assessment. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive patients undergoing endobronchial cs-FM placement for at least one PPL
