Core Tip |
This retrospective review demonstrates excellent long term local control of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in early stage cirrhosis treated by Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), while retaining hepatic function. However, the overall prognosis of HCC remains poor despite successful local therapy and transplant remains the standard of care. Given the rising incidence of HCC, liver procurement and selection of candidates for transplant will become increasingly stringent. The long term control and maintenance of hepatic reserve demonstrated in this series suggests that SBRT as a bridging therapy may extend waiting time for transplant in patients who may not otherwise be immediate candidates for it. |
