SBRT is similarly capable of delivering a large, but very precise, dose of radiation through the use of arcs or non-coplanar beams intersecting at the tumor. The accuracy allows clinicians to reduce treatment margins and maximally spare critical normal tissue (including rectum, bladder, urethra and penile bulb) from the high-dose treatment field.
