Brief Summary

The standard treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is surgery, such as, by hepatic resection or liver transplantation, but less than 20% of HCC patients are suitable for surgery. In the remaining patients with inoperable and advanced HCC, trans-arterial chemo-embolization (TACE) has been widely used but TACE alone rarely produces complete response and commonly develops recurrence. Recently several small studies reported high tumor response and local control rate after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) alone or with TACE for inoperable HCC. This study will evaluate SABR effect with 60 Gy in 3 fractionations for HCC with size of ≤ 5 cm and 3 cm apart from gastrointestinal tract.

Study Arms (1)

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma with size ≤ 5 cm and 3cm apart from gastrointestinal tract after incomplete trans-arterial chemo-embolization

Radiation: Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy

Interventions

The HCC patients with size ≤5 cm and 3 cm apart from gastrointestinal tract will be included in this study. Total stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) doses will be 60 Gy in 3 fractionations. Patients receive 3 fractionations separated by \>48 hours. At least 700 ml of normal liver (entire liver minus cumulative GTV) should not receive a total dose of \> 17 Gy in three fractions. If volume of normal liver does not exceed 700 ml, at least 70% of normal liver should not receive a total dose of \> 17 Gy. Dose of esophagus, stomach and intestine do not exceed 30 Gy.
