Stereotactic body radiotherapy with carbon ions as local ablative treatment in patients with primary liver cancer
In this retrospective analysis, patients who received CIRT presented excellent local tumor control and had better oncologic outcomes than patients who received photon-based SBRT. SBRT with carbon ions is a promising local ablative treatment option that needs further investigation in large prospective trials.
