Historical Development of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy

Abstract

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been an effective modality for the treatment of benign and malignant cranial disease for over 50 years. Just as SRS revolutionized the practice of neurosurgery, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) in extracranial sites is now challenging conventional wisdom with regard to the practice of radiation oncology. This clinical paradigm change has been enabled in large part through a century of technological development described in this chapter.
