Abstract: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been applied in extracranial metastases effectively, with the characteristics of concentrated dose distribution in target region, great dose gradient change in surrounding region and low dose in normal tissue beside target region. The radiation biology characteristics of SBRT, therapeutic mechanism, integration of SBRT into standard systemic therapy regimens have been studied further.
