| Review Title: | External beam radiation therapy for liver metastases |
| Abstract: | Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) commonly is used for small liver metastases. Modern conformal radiotherapy techniques, including 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy, enable the safe delivery of SABR to small liver volumes. For larger tumors, the safe delivery of SABR can be challenging due to a more limited volume of healthy normal liver parenchyma and the proximity of the tumor to radiosensitive organs, such as the stomach, duodenum, and large intestine. Controlling respiratory motion, the use of image guidance, and increasing the number of radiation fractions sometimes are necessary for the safe delivery of SABR in these situations. © 2020 Elsevier Inc. |
