Summary: Gold Anchors were implanted percutaneously via the trans-thoracic route in lung in 80 patients for CyberKnife treatments at the Hartmann Radiotherapy Institute in France. This led to 9 cases (11%) of pneumothorax, out of which 2 cases (2.5%) required a drain. All implanted fiducials were effectively tracked by CyberKnife. Article in Radiation Oncology, 2019
