Background: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has become the standard of care for medically inoperable patients with peripherally located, early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and for those refusing surgical resection. Despite the availability of national and international guidelines, there exists substantial variability in many aspects of SBRT practice.Methods: The ESTRO ACROP guideline is based on a questionnaire covering all aspects of SBRT implementation and practice (n = 114 items). The questionnaire was answered by the 11 faculty members of the ESTRO course "Clinical practice and implementation of image-guided SBRT" and their 8 institutions.Results: Agreement by >50% of the institutions was achieved in 72% of all items. Only 8/57 technologies and techniques were identified as mandatory for SBRT while 32/57 were considered as optional. In contrast, quality-assurance related elements were considered as mandatory in 12/24 items. A consensus of risk-adapted SBRT fractionation was achieved with 3 x 15 Gy for peripherally located lesions and 4 x 12 Gy (PTV D95-D99; D-max
