Stereotactic body radiation therapy for primary and metastatic hepatic malignancies can be performed in association and/or as an alternative to surgery and radiofrequency. The consequences of the great number of techniques available are heterogeneity in contouring, dose prescription and in determination of dose constraints for organs at risk. The objective of this paper is to improve the quality and safety and to help the diffusion of this technique for a majority of patients. In 2016, the French Society of Radiation Oncology (SFRO) published guidelines for external radiotherapy and brachytherapy ("Recorad"). This paper is an update of these recommendations considering recent publications.
