A Feasibility Study for Clinical Implementation of hypo fractionated SBRT Program at a Clinic in an LMIC Using Locally Designed Lung Phantom
Our results demonstrate that implementing HFRT using 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy for lung SBRT is feasible with the current infrastructure of our institution. Although the proposed treatment plan is effective, future research on motion management and image guidance technologies is necessary to optimize treatment fidelity. These findings suggest that HFRT could be a viable option for addressing resource constraints in radiation therapy delivery in similar settings.
