Conclusion: The majority of HCC patients with LV <1000 ml were ineligible to SBRT and frequently required dose compromization for hypofractionated photon radiotherapy. Strikingly, PBT permitted these patients to undergo ablative radiation treatment and offered substantial local control benefits with <5% of RILD risk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
