Treatment sites such as liver and recurrent head and neck tumors have had limited success with conventional fractionation, but stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) have demonstrated efficacy and low toxicity for these challenging indications. The AAPM SBRT Working Group (WGSBRT) has investigated these outcomes as part of a project called High Dose per Fraction, Hypofractionated Treatment Effects in the Clinic (HyTEC). After a brief overview of treatment efficacy, this session will focus on new normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) results for SBRT/SABR of liver and adjacent gastrointestinal (GI) structures, as well as for critical structures near re-irradiated head and neck (HN) tumors.

Learning Objectives:
1. Efficacy of current SBRT and hypofractionation schedules
2. Normal tissue tolerance for SBRT and hypofractionated treatments
3. Radiobiology and modeling based on published reports
