Stereotactic conformal radiotherapy of hepatic metastases:clinical analysis of 8 cases.

Abstract

It is always a routine to resect lesions of the body by surgery. Scientists have tried to obtain the same results without surgery, but failed. In recent years, with the development of multi-subject and high technology, lesions can be localized precisely with stereotactic technique. And with the help of computer and medical imaging technique, stereotactic conformal radiotherapy (SCR) has become a pain, no blood surgery. At the same time, SCR is recognized globally, its therapeutic range has transferred from intracranial lesions to the lesions of extracranial sites of the body, and is expected to become an important method in conventional surgery. Therefore, it is called surgery of the 21 century[1]. From May 1997 to April 1998, we treated 8 cases of hepatic metastases with SCR and the results are reported below.
