Stereotactic body radiation therapy for liver metastases.
Although resection is the standard of care for liver metastasis, 80-90% of patients are not resectable at diagnosis.

متن کاملRecall radiation dermatitis by sorafenib following stereotactic body radiation therapy
We report on a 63-year-old man with a history of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma with a thrombus extending into the inferior vena cava, who received image-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with helical tomotherapy, followed by sorafenib. A total tumor dose of 48 Gy was delivered by 6 fractions within 2 weeks. The tumor responded dramatically, and the patient t...
