PG - 173-195 LID - S1055-3207(23)00063-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.soc.2023.06.012 [doi] AB - Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)is a common type of liver cancer with a poor prognosis, especially in patients with advanced stages or underlying liver disease. While surgical resection, liver transplantation, and ablation therapies have traditionally been the mainstay of treatment for HCC, radiation therapy has become increasingly recognized as an effective alternative, particularly for those who are not surgical candidates. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a highly precise form of radiation therapy that delivers very high doses of radiation to the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Several studies have reported favorable outcomes with SBRT in HCC treatment. Moreover, SBRT can be used to treat recurrent HCC after prior treatment, offering a potentially curative approach in select cases. While SBRT has demonstrated its efficacy and safety in treating HCC, future studies are needed to further investigate the potential role of SBRT in combination with other treatments for HCC.
