Erman Akkus: Local treatments of HCC, 2 recent studies

Erman Akkus, Medical Oncology fellow at Ankara University, shared a post on X:

“Local treatments of HCC, 2 recent studies.

1) SBRT vs RFA for recurrent small HCC (single lesion ≤5 cm).

  • Local PFS is better with SBRT.
  • PFS, OS, safety are not different.

2) SBRT followed bu sorafenib vs. sorafenib alone for locally advanced HCC unsuitable for or refractory to standard local-regional therapies

  • mOS: 15.8 vs 12.3 mo.”
