Ten patients with hepatoma who had received radiotherapy for their metastatic sites have been reviewed. In 13 lesions of bone metastasis in 7 patients complete pain relief from 5 lesions (38%) was achieved, while partial relief (54%) was obtained in other lesions. Of 3 patients with a brain metastasis, one attained complete symptomatic improvement with a 65% tumor reduction, and one of the remaining two gained a symptomatic palliation. In a patient with two pulmonary metastases, intraarterial chemotherapy showed a more remarkable effect when treatment was combined with radiotherapy than intraarterial chemotherapy alone. It may be concluded that radiation therapy is effected modality for palliating metastatic lesions of hepatoma.
对10例肝癌患者进行了回顾，这些患者曾对其转移部位进行过放射治疗。7例患者的13处骨转移病灶中，5处病灶（38%）疼痛完全缓解，其他病灶部分缓解（54%）。3例脑转移患者中，1例症状完全改善，肿瘤缩小65%，其余2例中有1例症状得到缓解。1例有两处肺转移的患者，动脉内化疗联合放疗比单纯动脉内化疗效果更显著。可以得出结论，放射治疗是缓解肝癌转移病灶的有效方式。
