Nina Niu Sanford, Assistant Professor and Chief of Gastrointestinal Radiation Oncology at Harvard/Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital, reshared a post by Arndt Vogel, Managing Senior Consultant and a Professor in the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Endocrinology at Hannover Medical School, on X:
“Nice to see updated EASL guidelines for HCC now include RT!
1 small technicality: guidelines refer to photon SBRT or proton RT Photons/protons are particle types, & SBRT refers to technique (high dose to tumor alone, precise setup..) In HCC, protons also often given as SBRT.”
Quoting Arndt Vogel‘s post:

- Get the new guideline for HCC
- Up to date, very granular recommendation
