Abstract

For patients with unresectable or medically inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma, there are many local and regional therapies available, including stereotactic body radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and transcatheter embolic approaches. This article will describe these treatment options and review the current comparative literature, suggesting that stereotactic body radiotherapy provides similar or better tumor control and a favorable side effect profile.
