Description
Sun Hyun Bae and seven co-authors review radiotherapy for older liver cancer patients whose other illnesses narrow every choice. Forty patients aged 70 to 87 with liver-confined hepatocellular carcinoma were treated between 2015 and 2023. Comorbidity was tallied with the Charlson index, which ran from 2 to 9 in this group. Most kept good liver function before treatment, and stages spread from earliest to advanced.
Technique followed each patient's condition and aim: conformal beams for a few, intensity-modulated for half, and focused body radiotherapy for the rest. Thirty were treated with curative intent, ten for relief. Survival was tracked with standard curves.
