AbstractPrimary liver cancer is the seventh most common cancer worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for three-quarters of primary liver cancers and less than a third of patients present with curable disease. Liver-directed therapy is essential for the treatment of patients with unresectable HCC and the advancement of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has made radiation a safe and effective treatment option in a range of clinical presentations. In this review, we discuss the technical aspects of SBRT and the general approach to treatment of HCC. We explore the use of SBRT for bridging to transplant, downstaging, and the treatment of large tumors and portal vein tumor thrombus. Although there is limited high-quality randomized data, we review the evidence comparing SBRT with other liver-directed therapies and explore areas for future investigation.

Abstract Background To compare the clinical outcomes of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and fractionated radiation therapy (FRT) for primary liver cancer with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). Methods This retrospective study included 36 patients who underwent SBRT and 36 patients who underwent FRT from August 2016 to June 2018. Patients were evaluated for short-term efficacy, long-term efficacy, AEs, and quality of life before and after treatment. Results With a median follow-up of 28.8 months (26–36 months), 27 patients survived in the SBRT group while 19 patients survived in the FRT group. The survival rate in the SBRT group was statistically higher than that of the FRT group after 6 months (80.56% vs. 58.33%; P = 0.041), 12 months (77.78% vs. 55.56%; P = 0.046) and 24 months 75.00% vs. 52.78%; P = 0.049). The median whole survival time of the SBRT group was 13.3 months (95% CI 12.83–13.97), which was statistically longer than 9.8 months in the FRT group (95% CI 8.83–10.97, P < 0.05) based on the Kaplan–Meier method. The SBRT group had better survival quality and fewer adverse events than the FRT group. Conclusion SBRT had better clinical outcomes than FRT for primary liver cancer with PVTT.
