Description
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Stereotactic Radiotherapy (STRT) at the National Oncology Institute (INO) in Rabat on a cohort of 92 patients, from January 2022 to December 2024. It represents the first evaluation of this advanced technique in Morocco. The study reveals very encouraging results:
Efficacy: A response and local control rate of 83.7% was observed six months post-treatment, which is comparable to international standards. The majority of treated cases were metastases, primarily of the brain, bones, and lungs.
Safety: The study noted an excellent toxicity profile, with the absence of significant acute side effects, confirming the high tolerance of the treatment. In conclusion, the study validates the successful implementation of stereotactic radiotherapy at the INO of Rabat and demonstrates that high-quality care can be provided in a national context, paving the way for broader future research
