High-Precision, High-Dose Cancer Treatment at I D Cancer Centre, Lucknow

SBRT, or Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy, is one of the most advanced forms of radiotherapy used worldwide. It delivers very high doses of radiation with extreme accuracy to tumours located in the body—often in just 1 to 5 sessions.

This makes SBRT a powerful option for patients who need quick, highly targeted treatment with minimal side effects.

What Is SBRT?

SBRT uses multiple beams of high-energy radiation focused with millimetre accuracy to destroy tumours while sparing healthy tissues.

In simple words:

SBRT is like a “laser-targeted strike” on the tumour—powerful, fast, and extremely precise.

How SBRT Works

SBRT combines advanced imaging, radiation planning and robotic precision:

1. High-Resolution Imaging

CT, MRI or PET scans are used to map the tumour with sub-millimetre precision.

2. 3D & 4D Planning

Specialized planning systems account for body motion (like breathing).

3. Multiple Focused Beams

Radiation beams from different angles converge on the tumour.

4. High-Dose Treatment

Delivers a powerful dose that destroys cancer cells rapidly.

5. Real-Time Monitoring

The machine constantly adjusts for breathing or patient movement.

The result: tumour destruction with minimal damage to nearby organs.

Cancers Treated with SBRT

SBRT is particularly useful for small-sized tumours and cancers in organs that move during breathing.

Common indications include:

✔ Lung Tumours (Early Stage / Medically Inoperable)

Highly effective alternative to surgery.

✔ Liver Tumours

Both primary and metastatic.

✔ Spine & Vertebral Metastases

Excellent pain relief and tumour control.

✔ Pancreas & Adrenal Tumours

✔ Prostate Cancer

5-session prostate SBRT is now globally recognized.

✔ Limited Metastatic Disease (Oligometastasis)

SBRT can treat small metastatic lesions with high success.

✔ Retroperitoneal or Paraspinal Tumours

✔ Re-irradiation Cases

Where previous radiation limits traditional techniques.

Benefits of SBRT

1. Very Short Treatment Course

Treatment completed in 1 to 5 sessions (instead of 5–7 weeks).

2. Extremely High Precision

Ideal for tumours near vital organs.

3. Higher Cure Rates in Early-Stage Tumours

Example: Lung SBRT offers cure rates similar to surgery.

4. Minimal Side Effects

Due to sharp, focused radiation beams.

5. Painless & Non-Invasive

No surgery, no anaesthesia, no hospital stay.

6. Excellent Option for Elderly or Unfit Patients

When surgery is too risky.

7. Quick Recovery & Faster Return to Daily Life

SBRT Treatment Process at I D Cancer Centre

1. Consultation & Evaluation

Detailed clinical assessment by the oncologist.

2. Simulation & Advanced Imaging

4D CT, MRI, PET scan integration.

3. Treatment Planning

Multiple experts—radiation oncologist, physicists, dosimetrists—prepare a precise plan.

4. SBRT Treatment Sessions

Each session lasts 15–45 minutes depending on tumour location.

5. Real-Time Monitoring

Laser alignment, surface scanning, and imaging ensure accuracy.

6. Follow-Up Care

Scheduled reviews to monitor response and side effects.

Common Side Effects of SBRT

Side effects depend on the tumour location but are usually mild and temporary.

Possible side effects include:

• Fatigue

• Mild skin irritation

• Temporary cough (lung SBRT)

• Mild nausea (upper abdomen SBRT)

• Local discomfort for 1–2 days

SBRT has much fewer and milder side effects compared to conventional radiotherapy.
