Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) involves the precise delivery of highly conformal, dose-intense radiation to well-demarcated tumors. Special equipment and expertise are needed, and a unique biological mechanism distinguishes SRT from other forms of external beam radiotherapy. Families find the convenient schedules and minimal acute toxicity of SRT appealing. Common indications in veterinary oncology include nasal, brain, and bone tumors. Many other solid tumors can also be treated, including spinal, oral, lung, heart-base, liver, adrenal, and prostatic malignancies. Accessibility of SRT is improving, and new data are constantly emerging to define parameters for appropriate case selection, radiation dose prescription, and long-term follow-up."

兽医放射肿瘤学的最新进展：专注于立体定向放射疗法。

立体定向放射疗法（SRT）涉及将高度共形，剂量密集的放射精确递送到界限分明的肿瘤。需要特殊的设备和专业知识，并且独特的生物学机制将SRT与其他形式的外部束放射疗法区分开来。家庭发现吸引人的SRT时间表方便且急性毒性最小。兽医肿瘤学的常见适应症包括鼻，脑和骨肿瘤。还可以治疗许多其他实体瘤，包括脊柱，口腔，肺，心基，肝，肾上腺和前列腺恶性肿瘤。SRT的可及性正在改善，新的数据不断出现，以定义适当的病例选择，放射剂量处方和长期随访的参数。”
