Methods: Sixteen patients who presented with solitary HCC, including two patients with a tumor thrombus of the portal veins, were treated with stereotactic radiotherapy with or without transarterial chemoembolization. The criteria for stereotactic radiotherapy were existence of technical difficulties for other ablation therapies, inoperable disease or refusal to undergo surgery, tumor staged as Grade A or B according to the Child-Pugh classification, and solitary tumor distant from the gastrointestinal tract and kidney with a tumor volume <100 cm(3). In 14 of 16 patients, a total dose of 35- 50 Gy was delivered in 5-7 fractions over 5-9 days. Results: At the end of a mean follow-up of 612 days (median 611 days; range 244-994 days), all patients were alive. Eight of 16 patients had complete responses and seven others were judged as stable with lipiodol accumulation. In one patient, local recurrence developed after 489 days. Intrahepatic recurrences developed outside the treated volume in six patients and no extrahepatic metastases developed during follow-up. No serious treatment-related toxic manifestations developed. Conclusions: Stereotactic radiotherapy for HCC with or without transarterial chemoembolization is feasible therapy and provides good local control with a short treatment period. Stereotactic radiotherapy may be of clinical benefit in patients who are inoperable or for whom there are difficulties in other ablation therapies. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=1604 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Jeng-Fong Chiou ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy with and without transarterial chemoembolization for small hepatocellular carcinoma not eligible for other ablation therapies: Preliminary results for efficacy and toxicity. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no=supple ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=1999 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
