| Core Tip |
Due to an aging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient population, a growing number of patients are ineligible for conventional therapy. The Cyberknife system delivers stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), which offers minimally invasive treatment with high doses of radiation. There has been an increase in the number of successful reports of using SBRT against liver-confined HCC. We found that the Cyberknife can safely be administered even in patients with advanced or terminal stage HCC. Our results suggest that SBRT may have the potential to increase the overall survival for advanced stage HCC patients. High alpha fetoprotein levels were associated with worse survival, but a higher radiation dose improved the survival. |
