Abstract
Imaging within 6 months following SBRT for early-stage NSCLC resulted in a definitive intervention in approximately 3% of patients. In the era of cost-effective health care, a first scan at 6 months posttreatment may be adequate for most patients. Larger scale prospective studies are needed to address the optimal surveillance regimen following SBRT and to identify patients who may benefit from more aggressive surveillance regimens.
