Comparison between Trans-Arterial Chemoembolization Followed by Stereotactic Body Radiation Rherapy and Trans-Arterial Chemoembolization Alone in BCLC Stage B Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Pilot Study

Both Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and Trans-arterial Chemoembolization (TACE) are now being widely used to treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and can improve tumor local control rates. We aimed at evaluating the efficacy and toxicity of combining SBRT and TACE in comparison to TACE alone in unresectable HCC.
