"Optimal and actual rates of Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (S" by Wsam Ghandourh, Lois Holloway et al.
Background and purpose: Radiotherapy utilisation rates considerably vary across different countries and service providers, highlighting the need to establish reliable benchmarks against which utilisation rates can be assessed. Here, optimal utilisation rates of Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) for lung cancer are estimated and compared against actual utilisation rates to identify potential shortfalls in service provision. Materials and Methods: An evidence-based optimal utilisation model was constructed after reviewing practice guidelines and identifying indications for lung SABR...
