1. SRS for moving organ including Lung is proved to be feasible and practical. 2. The preliminary experience of the stereotactic body frame based SRS appeared safe and promising treatment modality for the local management of primary or metastatic lung tumors The optimum total dose and fractionation schedule used should be determined after the longer follow-up of these results.
