A review of the technical aspects of high-dose hypofractionated radiotherapy for localised non-small cell lung cancer was carried out to allow correlation with outcome measures and with a consensus view of the technique. A Pubmed search carried out between January 2001 and April 2007 identified 15 studies for inclusion.
