A retrospective analysis of SBRT in 13 institutions over a 10 year interval was conducted on outcomes in 582 pts with Stage I NSCLC.  At 3 years, freedom from local recurrence was 80% and overall survival was 47%.  The biological dose was the most important determinant of outcomes.  With higher effective dosing, freedom from local recurrence was 92% and overall survival was 62%.
