Therapeutic effects of stereotactic conformal radiotherapy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma
Abstract：Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of stereotacticconformal radiotherapy (SCRT) on advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods Changes of tumor mass diameter (TMD),serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, WBC count and hepatic function in patients with advanced HCC after SCRT or transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization(TAE) were analyzed. Twenty-one patients underwent SCRT(group A),among whom 13 had Child A liver function and 8 had Child B grade.Two patients had MTD<5 cm and 3 patient with TMD>10 cm. Results The average MTD reduction and reduction rates of MTD, AFP, WBC count and liver function in group A were(2.58±1.80) cm, 66.67%,86.6%,19.05% and 9.52%, respectively. Those in group B were (1.20±0.68) cm,30%, 43.75%,50% and 60%, respectively.There was significant difference between group A and B. Conclusion SCRT is a satisfactory alternative with low incidence of side-effect for HCC that can not afford conventional surgery.
