Abstract

The historical treatment for stage I non-small cell lung cancer is surgical. Parenchymal amputation is not always possible due to cardiopulmonary comorbidities and stereotactic radiotherapy is one of the alternatives to an invasive procedure. The excellent results observed for inoperable tumors raised the question of this treatment in operable patients. This article presents the data in these two situations and the future perspectives.
