The liver is a critically important organ that has numerous functions including the production of bile, metabolism of ingested nutrients, elimination of many waste products, glycogen storage, and plasma protein synthesis. The liver is often incidentally irradiated during radiation therapy (RT) for tumors in the upper- abdomen, right lower lung, distal esophagus, or during whole abdomen or whole body RT. This article describes the endpoints, time-course, and dose-volume effect of radiation on the liver.
肝脏是一个极其重要的器官，具有多种功能，包括胆汁的生成、摄入营养物质的代谢、多种废物的排出、肝糖储存以及血浆蛋白的合成。在对上腹部、右下肺、远端食管的肿瘤进行放射治疗（RT）或进行全腹部或全身 RT 时，肝脏常常会意外受到照射。本文描述了肝脏接受放射的终点、时程和剂量-体积效应。
