Abstract

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), a type of external beam radiotherapy, yields local control of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at rates as high as 90%. SBRT has been recognized as an alternative therapy for patients for whom standard modalities such as surgery (resection or transplantation) or ablation are deemed unsuitable. SBRT has the potential to improve the prognosis of HCC, as it can be used as an adjunct to other treatment modalities. The assessment of post-SBRT images of the treated tumor and surrounding normal liver tissue requires special attention. Future research is warranted to determine how best to use SBRT versus other therapies and how to combine them.
