Brief Title: Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Major Portal Vein Invasion
Official Title: Multicenter Phase II Study of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Major Portal Vein Invasion
Study ID: NCT01850368
Brief Summary: Recently, several studies reported promising outcomes of patients after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombosis. However, conventional EBRT is composed of many fractions (20-35 fractions). On the other hand, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy is a newly emerging treatment method to deliver a high dose of radiation to the target using a few fractions with a high precision within body. SABR increases radiation biologic effect for tumor, makes patients more comfortable due to reduction of the number of hospital visit, and enables patients to receive another treatment more quickly. This study will evaluate SABR effect with 40 Gy in 4 fractions for HCC with major portal vein tumor thrombosis.
