What lung constraint do you use when delivering SBRT for local failure of early stage NSCLC following surgery?
Does this vary based on whether the patient had a lobectomy v. wedge resection?

We treat these patients in very similar fashion as a primary early stage NSCLC.
Provided that the target volume is well defined, does not directly involve the proximal bronchial tree, and in these post-operative cases does not involve the pulmonary vascular hilum we would typically treat with SBRT....
