Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) is a very specific type of Radiotherapy. Many smaller beams of radiotherapy are directed to the cancer from many different angles. This means that the cancer itself gets a large dose of radiotherapy but healthy tissues around the cancer recieve only a lower dose reducing the risk of tissue damage.
You might want to ask your oncologist or specialist nurse
- what your SABR treatment is aiming to do?
- how you can prepare for your SABR treatment?
- what side effects or complications could happen?
- how you will recover following SABR treatment?
- how long treatment will last?
- whether you will need any extra help at home during this treatment?
