abstract：INTRODUCTION:Due to size and close proximity to skin, the sternum is a complicated target for stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR). This is a retrospective case series of single-fraction SABR to sternal metastasis in patients with oligometastatic breast cancer. METHODS:Between June 2014 and June 2018, ten br...
