For a patient with a solitary kidney, what dose constraints would you use for SBRT to a nearby site?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
I use the UK Consensus on Normal Tissue Dose Constraints for SRS & SBRT.For a solitary kidney, the SBRT 5 fxn OAR constraint is
Mean <10 Gy
V10 Gy <10% (optimal), but can go up to <45% (mandatory)
This is based on the ABC-07 & SPARC trial protocols.
