Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for the Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Efficacy and Safety

This study aimed to describe patient characteristics, treatment efficacy, and safety in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). We retrospectively analyzed data of 318 patients with 375 HCC treated between June 2007 and December 2018. Effic...

description This study aimed to describe patient characteristics, treatment efficacy, and safety in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). We retrospectively analyzed data of 318 patients with 375 HCC treated between June 2007 and December 2018. Efficacy (overall survival [OS], relapse-free survival, and local control) and acute and late toxicities were described. The median follow-up period was 70.2 months. Most patients were treated with 45 Gy in three fractions. The median (range) PTV volume was 90.7 (2.6–1067.6) cc. The local control rate at 24 and 60 months was 94% (91–97%) and 94% (91–97%), respectively. Relapse-free survival at 12, 24, and 60 months was 62% (55–67%), 29% (23–36%), and 13% (8–19%), respectively. OS at 12, 24, and 60 months was 72% (95%CI 67–77%), 44% (38–50%), and 11% (7–15%), respectively. Approximately 51% and 38% experienced acute and late toxicity, respectively. Child-Pugh score B-C, high BCLC score, portal thrombosis, high GTV volume, and higher PTV volume reported on total hepatic volume ratio were significantly associated with OS. SBRT is efficient for the management of HCC with a favorable toxicity profile. The outcome is highly related to the natural evolution of the underlying cirrhosis.
