Randomized comparison of SBRT vs RFA for recurrent small HCC

Matthias Guckenberger, Radiation Oncologist at University Hospital Zurich, shared a recent article by Mian Xi on X:

“Randomized comparison of SBRT vs RFA for recurrent Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma (n=166 patients).

– Freedom from local progression significantly improved after SBRT: 2a 92.7% vs 75.8%, HR=0.45.

– No difference in PFS (median 37.6 vs 27.6mo) and OS (2a 97.6% vs 93.9%).

SBRT vs RFA

Drew Moghanaki, Professor and Chief of Thoracic Oncology at the Department of Radiation Oncology, also shared the post on X:

“The heavy lifting now begins to discuss these data with interventional radiologists – including those who call themselves interventional oncologists – and review why CT-based dosimetry matters.”

Dr. Drew Moghanaki, a Professor and Chief of Thoracic Oncology at the Department of Radiation Oncology, UCLA. He holds the Stanley Iezman and Nancy Stark Endowed Chair in Thoracic Radiation Oncology Research at the same university. He specializes in treating lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies, focusing on advanced radiation therapy techniques like stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), magnetic resonance-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT), and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
