FIGURE 1 An 85-year-old man with stage IIA non–small-cell lung cancer. The primary tumor was 5.5 cm in the greatest dimension as measured on a simulation computed tomography scan. The patient was treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy with 12 Gy × 4 fractions. The beam arrangement and isodose lines in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes are shown above.
