The uptake of stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR)/stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) worldwide has been rapid. The Australian and New Zealand Faculty of Radiation Oncology (FRO) assembled an expert panel of radiation oncologists, radiation oncology medical physicists and radiation therapists to establish guidelines for safe practice of SABR. Draft guidelines were reviewed by a number of international experts in the field and then distributed through the membership of the…

Stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR) in NSW
TLDR
The results indicate that most centres now treat with SABR, however the number of centres and the treatment sites are still increasing, and Liver was the most commonly reported treatment site where confidence in service delivery needed improvement.
Faculty of Radiation Oncology Position Paper on the use of Image–Guided Radiation Therapy
TLDR
The role of IGRT is outlined and current clinical evidence supporting the benefit of I GRT in genitourinary, head and neck, and lung cancers is reviewed and a set of key recommendations are provided to guide safe and effective IGRt implementation and practice in the Australian and New Zealand context.
Credentialing of vertebral stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy in a multi-centre trial.
Current status of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy in the UK: six years of progress
TLDR
The 2018 survey shows a welcome increase in SABR provision, surpassing 2012 projections, however, it is clear that the UK SABr program needs to continue to expand to ensure that patients with oligometastatic disease have access and S ABR for early stage lung cancer is available in all centres.

Collaborative implementation of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy: A model for the safe implementation of complex radiotherapy techniques in Australia
TLDR
A collaboration in implementing an NSCLC SABR (stereotactic ablative body radiation) program safely, efficiently, and uniformly across several centers, including regional sites is reported on.
Demystifying Cyberknife stereotactic body radiation therapy for interventional radiologists
TLDR
Close collaboration between interventional radiologists and radiation oncologists with understanding of the technical aspects of CyberKnife SBRT and FMs implantation has important implications for optimal delivery of therapy and direct impact on the interventional radiology practice in selected patients proposed for CyberKnIFE S BRT.
The evolution and rise of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for spinal metastases
TLDR
This review will look at the progress made by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the management of spinal metastases, and the technological factors which have enabled the widespread use of SBRT.
Stereotactic spine radiosurgery: Review of safety and efficacy with respect to dose and fractionation
TLDR
Both single and multifraction regimens are safe and efficacious in spine SBRT for spinal metastases and there may be advantages to hypofractionated treatment over single-fraction regimen with respect to toxicity.
Current status of intra-cranial stereotactic radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery in Australia and New Zealand: key considerations from a workshop and surveys
TLDR
The workshop indicated a consensus that for a department to offer an SRS/SRT service, a minimum case load should be considered depending on availability of training, peer-review, resources and equipment, and it was suggested this service may be limited to brain metastases only.
