      Background:
      Nowadays pulmonary oligometastatic disease it´s a common situation. SBRT for these patients is a feasible therapeutic choice. We present our experience using single fraction of 34Gy in solitary lesions in Lung. The main aim of this report is to show that single fraction of 34 Gy in lung lesions is feasible, without toxicity and good response profile.

      Methods:
      11 patients with 11 metastatic pulmonary lesions were prospectively treated with single dose of 34Gy. Inclusion criteria were: lesion size smaller than 2 cm, distance from the chest wall and main bronchus tree higher than 2 cm , in metastatic lesions primary tumour should be under control in PET scan. Patients were treated using True Beam machine (VARIAN). In 6 cases treatments were delivered without flattening filter beams. Median Age 68.7y (r51-82), Gender distribution 3 women and 8 men, Histology: 4 cases (36.4%) were metastasic lesions from rectum, 2cases (18.2%) were metastasic lesions from Colon), 3 (27.3%) were primary lesions from lung, 1 (9.1%) was metastasic lesions from sigma and another 1 (9.1%) was from lachrimal gland. All patients underwent 4DCT for contouring. Inmobilization was done by thermoplastic mask (Lorca Marin.S.A). Location: 4 cases (36.4%) were on the Right superior lobe (RSL), 3(27.3%) were on Left Superior Lobe (LSL), 2(18.2%) were on Medial Lobe (ML), 1(9.1%) was on the Lingula and another 1 (9.1%) on Left Inferior Lobe (LIL). Pulmonary function impact was annalyzed using pulmonary function tests performed before and after treatment .

      Results:
      After 45 months of follow up (r 8-45) no toxicity higher than grade 2 was detected. Dosimetric characteristics: mean volume of GTV 1.46cc (r 0.6-4.1), mean volume of PTV 10.85 (r7.1-22.2), D Max oesophagus 4.84 (r 2.7-8.3), D max Heart 8.63 (r0.22-30.07), D max trachea 6.09 Gy (r 0.3-11.1), Dmax skin 10.98(r7.0-14.4). Local control and distant control at 20 months were 77% and 54% respectively. Overall survival was 72% at this time . We detected a significant DLCO impairment of 18% r(2.82-35.13) p=0,027.

      Conclusion:
      To sum up, even this is a preliminary study with a small sample size, this fractionation scheme of SBRT is fast and well tolerated. However, we have detected an impairment of DLCO, so further study with bigger sample size is needed in order to stablish the magnitude of this impairment.
