Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy as a Salvage Treatment for Single Viable Hepatocellular Carcinoma at the Site of Incomplete Transarterial Chemoembolization
Abstract:Background: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients who received stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for single viable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at the site of incomplete transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).Methods: Incomplete TACE was defined as (1) evidence of viable HCC at the site of TACE on follow-up images following one or more consecutive TACEs, (2) no definite tumor staining on celiac angiogram, or (3) no definite iodized oil uptake on post-embolization angiogram or computed tomogr… Show more
