Stereotactic radiation therapy can improve survival with early stage inoperable lung cancer

When lung cancer is caught early, gives surgery possibility of a cure. But not everyone is a candidate for surgery. And for them-regardless of whether they can refrain from treatment or treated with conventional radiation therapy-survival in 3 years, only about 20-35%.

However, a relatively new technique of radiotherapy, Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), gives hope that people with lung cancer at an early stage, but it doesn't work it can survive much longer than was possible previously.
