Clinical Practice Guidelines
One of the primary objectives of the ISRS is to elucidate best practices and provide guidance for safe and effective practice of SRS and SBRT. During the past several years, a number of important intra- and extra-cranial guidelines have been published under the direction of, and with input from, global experts who form the committees.
The guideline development process reflects our commitment to mentoring young professionals in the fields of SRS/SBRT, as each junior guideline lead is partnered with a senior committee member to guide the process and writing of the guideline. The intent is to foster the next generation of leaders in SRS/SBRT. The ISRS is grateful for the considerable time and effort of each of the contributors. Most of the following guidelines may be accessed free of charge via open access by clicking on the publication titles.
