%X Insulinoma is the most common functional neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas, with the main clinical symptom being hypoglycemia. The standard treatment is surgery, but some patients are not eligible for surgery, while in those operated on, the risk of perioperative complications is up to 30%. Diazoxide treatment to prevent hypoglycemia is effective only in 50% of patients. To prevent tumor growth and hormonal excess, stereotactic radiotherapy may be an alternative to surgical treatment. In our paper, we present two cases of patients with insulinoma treated successfully with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
