1-year efficacy results after MR-guided risk-adapted stereotactic radiotherapy of infra-diaphragmatic oligometastases in a multicenter phase II trial Open
In our study, treatment with risk-adapted, MR-guided SABR resulted in a high one-year local control and survival rate and could keep half of the patients off systemic therapy within the first year of follow-up.
