With the advances that have been made in the field of radiation technology over the past decade, radiotherapy has become a feasible and promising treatment modality for hepatocellular carcinoma. One of the most influential advances in this context has been the development of sophisticated image guidance systems that allow greater precision in targeting the planned area of irradiation. A multidisciplinary team is involved in the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma at Tuen Mun Hospital, Hong Kong, with stereotactic radiotherapy being just one of the treatment modalities that can potentially be integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that is tailored to each patient’s clinical circumstances. This report is of the clinical outcomes of three patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who were treated with stereotactic radiotherapy.

多學科整合方法治理不能切除的肝癌
蔡國強
隨著輻射技術過去十年的進步，放射治療已成為肝癌一個可行及有效的治療方法。其中最有影響力 的進展是精密的圖像引導系統，它已研發精確的定位技術以計劃出準確的放射治療位置。香港屯門 醫院一個跨學科團隊為肝癌患者進行治理，根據每位病人的臨床個別情況策劃全面的治療方案，其 中包括立體定向放射治療。本文報告三名不能手術切除的肝癌患者接受立體定向放射治療的的臨床 結果。
