Many cancers can spread to the liver, often as the sole site of metastatic disease. For properly selected patients with limited hepatic disease and good performance status, an aggressive strategy involving radical local therapy to the site(s) of metastasis offers a chance for extended disease-free survivorship. The development of stereotactic body radiotherapy has inserted radiation therapy into the arsenal of valuable treatment options in this clinical setting. This article summarizes the latest advancements in the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy to treat liver metastases.
许多癌症可转移至肝脏,常常是作为转移性疾病的唯一部位。对于经过恰当选择、肝脏疾病局限且体能状态良好的患者,针对转移部位采取积极的根治性局部治疗策略可提供延长无病生存期的机会。立体定向体部放射治疗的发展,已将放射治疗纳入了这一临床环境中有价值的治疗选择武器库。本文总结了立体定向体部放射治疗在治疗肝转移瘤方面的最新进展。
