| Research Abstract |
A treatment flow in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for liver cancer has been established thorough the present research. The flow includes insertion of a fiducial marker, optimal conditions for simulation CT, treatment planning and dose calculation, and dynamic tumor tracking irradiation. The present research adds a treatment option of SBRT to liver cancer. That can play an important role in cancer treatment in Japan. However, this research could not provide optimal procedures in follow-up after liver SBRT, and future research might be warranted.
