Abstract:
Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy(3DCRT) is a new physical method which can enhance the therapeutic gain factor(TGF) of radiotherapy. It can escalate the doses of local tumor and decrease the doses of normal tissue. For patients with primary liver tumors, 3DCRT can increase the local control rates, prolong patients survival and decrease the incidence of radiation-induced complications.
