Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) as emerged as a viable re-irradiation strategy for locally-recurrent previously-irradiated head-and-neck cancer. Doses in the literature have varied which challenges clinical application of SBRT as well as clinical trial design. A working group was formed through the American Association of Physicists in Medicine to study tumor control probabilities for SBRT in head and neck cancer. We herein present a systematic review of the available literature addressing the dose/volume data for tumor control probability with SBRT in patients with locally-recurrent previously-irradiated head and neck cancer. Dose response models are generated that present tumor control probability as a function of dose. Data from over 300 cases in 8 publications suggests that there is a dose-response relationship with superior local control and possibly improved overall survival, for doses of 35-45Gy (in 5 fractions) compared to <30 Gy. SBRT doses equivalent to 5 fraction doses of 40-50Gy are suggested for re-treatment.
