主 题:Proton Therapy HCC BCLC Staging System
摘 要:Proton therapy represents the most advanced form of radiotherapy currently available. Hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC) has been extensively treated with proton therapy since 1983 with en-couraging results in terms of effectiveness and safety, as reported in recent research articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. In this report, we summarized for the first time the results of proton therapy treatment for HCC according with respect to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer Staging System, the most adopted classification system for HCC which provides information on both prognostic prediction and treatment allocation.
