Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a safe and effective option for treatment of liver metastases. However, existing data are mostly reported by high-volume centers. There have been reports that advanced radiotherapy techniques performed at low-volume centers result in inferior outcomes. Our goal was to assess the implementation of SBRT for the treatment of liver metastases at a low-volume center by studying the efficacy and toxicity of this technology through retrospective database review at a single, community-based institution.
