Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is the preferred treatment for inoperable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and for operable cases when patients decline surgery, offering local control (LC) rates of 80-97%.

SBRT targeting these tumours has been associated with higher risk of severe toxicity, including pulmonary hemorrhage and pneumonitis. The term "ultra-central lung tumours" refers to tumours a
