On the Cyberknife Dose Fraction of Liver Cancer Treatment

Beijing 302 Hospital657 enrolled

Overview

The research aims to the primary hepatic carcinoma patients whose diameter of the single tumor is equal or less than 5cm.By supervising the changes of liver function, Child-Pugh score, ICG-R15 value, secondary reaction, incidence rate of RILD during and after the radiotherapy, meanwhile combining the outcome of the progression of disease and the condition of survival quality, the optimum proposal could be obtained and apply to clinic thus make the treatment safe, effective and personalized.

Interventions

Dose fraction formsRADIATION

The investigators divide the participants randomly into 3 groups by SPSS 19.0.Three groups participants receive the different dose fraction(49Gy/7f,54Gy/6f and 55Gy/5f),which also means different Biologic Equivalent Dose.Through the research,the investigators want to find out the optimum dose fraction method,which makes the treatment safe, effective and personalized.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Local control rate

Local control illustrates the time from the tumor appearance to progress (the diameter more than or equal to 1.5 times of original) .The ratio of the number of the local control patients to the whole number of patients is local control rate.

Time frame: From date of the participants completing the therapy until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 36 months.

Overall survival rate

Overall survival rate means the ratio of the number of patients who are alive to the whole patients after the treatment.

Time frame: From date of the participants diagnosed until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months.

Secondary Outcomes

RILD rate

the rate of radiotherapy induced liver disease

Time frame: From the date of radiotherapy completion until the 4 months after therapy,up to 6 months.

Child-Pugh score

By testing the liver function,coagulation function and ascites,we could calculate the Child-Pugh score,which reflect the liver function roundly.

Time frame: From the date of radiotherapy completion until the 4 months after therapy,up to 6 months.

the value of ICG R15

It means the indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes,which reflects the liver reserve.

Time frame: From the date of radiotherapy completion until the 4 months after therapy,up to 6 months.
