“…14 However, various investigators have reported that HCC was radiosensitive. [14][15][16][17] Chen et al 16 and Nagashima et al 17 reported that HCC patients with portal vein tumor thrombus were successfully treated with radiation therapy. These reports showed that radiation therapy with a limited field was a good complementary therapy in combination with other therapies for HCC.…”

We report on a 71-year old man with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) whose obstructive jaundice was successfully treated with external irradiation and a self-expandable metallic stent (EMS); Wallstent; Schneider (Europe) AG, Bülach, Switzerland. He was admitted to our hospital because of jaundice. HCC was found in S8; the tumor had invaded the bile duct with growth in the common hepatic duct. Endoscopic nasobiliary drainage was performed with difficulty. Radiation therapy to the stenosis enabled us to place a Wallstent endoscopically. He survived without icterus for 1 year.
