Purpose: This systematic review aims to analyze the literature on the application of AI in predicting patient outcomes and treatment-related toxicity in those undergoing SBRT or SRS across heterogeneous tumor sites. Materials and methods: Our review conformed to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus were systematically searched for English-language human studies evaluating AI for outcome and toxicity prediction in patients undergoing SBRT or SRS for solid tumors. Search terms included (“Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy” OR “SBRT” OR “Stereotactic Radiosurgery” OR “SRS” OR “Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy” OR “SABR”) AND (“Artificial Intelligence” OR “AI” OR “Machine Learning” OR “Deep Learning” OR “Radiomics”) AND (“Response Prediction” OR “Response to Treatment” OR “Outcome Prediction”) AND (“Toxicity” OR “Side Effects” OR “Treatment Toxicities” OR “Adverse Events”). Results: The search yielded 29 eligible retrospective studies, published between 2020 and 2025. Eight studies addressed early-stage primary lung cancer, highlighting the potential of AI-based models in predicting radiation-induced pneumonitis, fibrosis and local control. Five studies investigated AI models for predicting hepatobiliary toxicity following SBRT for liver tumors. Sixteen studies involved SRS-treated patients with brain metastases or benign intracranial neoplasms (e.g., arteriovenous malformations, vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas), expl...
