N2 - Purpose: The treatment result of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma failed from previous TACE is often unsatisfactory. To minimize the acute and late adverse effects of liver irradiation and preserve maximal normal liver tissue, fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (R/T) is used in our institute.Materials & Methods: Twenty-three patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma received fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy with 55Gy in 22 fractions. All patients were assessable for side effects and response.Results: The mean regression of turner volume was 29% at 1 month after completion of R?T, 41% at 2 months and 55% at 3 months. In 17 patients with elevated serum alpha-fetoptein (AFP), 15 (88%) were found to have response in the first month after R/T, 10 (59%) had regression of more than 50% of the original level at the first month after R/T. Conclusion: For patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, the fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy is a feasible modality and deserves further follow-up for outcome and toxicity.
