Abstract
The results of this study suggest that the dose received by the region close to the PTV has a significant impact on the risk of distant metastases in stage I NSCLC patients treated with SBRT. If these results are independently confirmed, caution should be taken, particularly when a treatment plan results in a steep dose gradient extending outwards from the PTV.
