| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: We investigated the patient's perspective on SBRT for treatment of stage I NSCLC and compared the patient's perspective of SBRT to that of surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: IRB approval was obtained to contact patients who had received SBRT for stage I NSCLCs. Patients were asked questions inquiring into their knowledge of SBRT and how their SBRT experience compared to their original expectations. Patients who had undergone prior surgery for a previously diagnosed stage I NSCLC were asked questions comparing their experience between SBRT and surgery. Frequencies of these reported measures were calculated and analysis was done using Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: 102 patients were contacted with 91 (89%) participating. Among all patients, prior to their radiation oncology consultation, 56% had no knowledge of SBRT and 58% believed SBRT to be as effective as resection. After consultation, 98.9% did not believe they were getting an inferior treatment with SBRT. 92.3% of patients reported less side effects, 59.3% reported SBRT to be more convenient and 87.9% reported SBRT to be less anxiety provoking than compared to their original expectations. Among patients with prior lung surgery (N=39), compared to surgery, 100% reported an easier recovery, less treatment related anxiety and less caregiver strain with SBRT. Overall, 79.5% were more satisfied with SBRT than surgery and 89.7% would have rather had SBRT than surgery as it was performed for their prior NSCLC. CONCLUSION: Actual experiences with SBRT are overwhelmingly superior compared to patient expectations. Patients with prior lung surgery reported significantly more satisfaction with SBRT. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
