Abstract:
With the development of radiotherapy techniques,the efficacy of radiotherapy for liver tumors has been improved,and radiothera-py can be considered as an alternative treatment for patients who are not suitable for surgery.The progress in liver tumor radiotherapy repor-ted in the 55th annual meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO)in 2013,particularly the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy for liver tumors,is reviewed.In the future,radiotherapy may be increasingly used as an ef-fective method in the treatment of liver tumors.The main studies reported at the meeting are sorted as follows in this article.
