Stereotactic body radiotherapy for primary hepatic malignancies - Report of a phase I/II institutional study.

CONCLUSIONS: Primary hepatic malignancies not amenable to surgical resection portend a poor prognosis, despite available treatment options. Though radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) is rare following SBRT, this study demonstrates a risk of hepatic failure despite adherence to protocol constraints.
