Description
Hypofractionated treatment scheme SBRT is an established treatment approach for both curative and palliative indication, which have shown increased local control rates >80% compared with conventional fractionation scheme. Lung SBRT treatments are often prolonged due to high dose per fraction. The extended treatment time can increase the risk of tumour interplay effect during delivery. FFF beams with maximum dose rate results into substantially minimizing the treatment time, which translate into improved patient stability. FFF beam delivery may possibly reduce the dosimetric impact on PTV coverage caused by interplay effect
