Abstract:
Non-invasive treatment of hepatic metastases has become a focal point of interdisciplinary oncology especially since the advent of stereotactic radiation techniques. Worldwide several centers have shown that this treatment is a curative and well tolerated regimen with excellent rates of local control. Modern devices which combine radiation therapy with imaging techniques (image-guided radiotherapy) in particular allow precise dose application, especially for hypofractionated treatment concepts requiring daily repositioning.
