Stereotactic body radiotherapy for colorectal liver metastases

Abstract

Liver stereotactic body radiotherapy is well tolerated and effective for colorectal liver metastases. The strong correlation between local control and OS supports controlling hepatic disease even for heavily pretreated patients. For a 3-fraction regimen of stereotactic body radiotherapy, a prescription dose of ≥ 48 Gy should be considered, if normal tissue constraints allow.
