Abstract:: |
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is prone to invading portal vein system known as portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). PVTT is one of the main reasons for poor prognosis of HCC because of its rapid progress and lack of effective treatments, and the optimal treatment strategy remains controversial. With recent advances in techniques, the efficacy and safety of radiation therapy for PVTT has been improved. The optimization of individualized radiotherapy and multimodality treatment is the future direction of research. In this review, we will investigate the current state and future opportunities of radiation therapy and multimodality treatment for HCC with PVTT. |
