Lung Cancer Treatment with Precision-Guided SBRT

Highly Precise – Non-Invasive – Non-Surgical – No Anesthesia – 3 to 5 Outpatient Visits

Capital Radiosurgery Centers (CRC) provides highly precise, non-invasive lung cancer treatment using advanced radiation technologies such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). All treatments are carefully planned based on clinical appropriateness and delivered by board-certified radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, nurse navigators, and other specialized oncology professionals.

These treatments target lung tumors with exceptional accuracy—even accounting for tumor movement caused by breathing—helping protect surrounding healthy tissue and preserve lung function and quality of life. Care is delivered in an independent, outpatient setting, bringing hospital-level technology into the community without the need for surgery or overnight hospital stays.


The Facts That Matter

Early-Stage I & II Lung Cancer Treatment Comparison

Survival Rate After 3 years
SBRT: 95%       Surgery: 75%

Fewer Treatments

SBRT is completed in days, not weeks
Conventional Radiation often requires 25-35 visits

Non-Surgical

No incisions.
No anesthesia.
No surgical recovery.

Outpatient Care

Go home the same day.
Most patients resume normal activity shortly after treatment.

What Is SBRT?

SBRT is an advanced radiation therapy that targets tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy. Unlike conventional radiation, which may take weeks, SBRT completes treatment in days—protecting healthy tissue and helping patients maintain their daily routines.

Technology Designed for Precision

We use CyberKnife® and Varian TrueBeam® to treat tumors anywhere in the body, even those that move with breathing or normal motion. Advanced imaging and real-time tracking mean no restrictive frames, no breath-holding, and no invasive procedures.

Key Benefits

Fewer Treatments

Treatment is typically completed in 1–5 sessions.

Minimized Side Effects

Precision targeting reduces damage to healthy tissue.

Proven Outcomes

Long-term cancer control supported by extensive clinical research.

Faster Return to Life
