Abstract

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) represents a significant advancement in the field of oncology, particularly within palliative cancer care. This highly precise form of radiation therapy delivers high doses of radiation to targeted tumors with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. The benefits of SBRT in palliative care are manifold, including its ability to provide effective symptom relief, reduce treatment burden, and preserve quality of life for patients with advanced cancer. By focusing on localized tumor control, SBRT helps manage symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and obstruction, making it a valuable tool in enhancing patient comfort and well-being. This article explores the role of SBRT in palliative cancer care, highlighting its applications, advantages, and challenges.
