Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
Cancer is one of the major health concerns worldwide, and the proportion of cancer patients requiring radiotherapy (RT) is increasing because of the increase in the number of cancer patients. In Japan, the average life span is 80 years for men and 86 years for women as of 2014. Because of the comorbidities of an aged population, less invasive radiotherapy is more preferred than invasive sur…
