Comparison of local tumor control in patients with HCC treated with SBRT or TACE: a propensity score analysis

Abstract Background As stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has shown to be effective and safe in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the aim of our propensity score matched analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of SBRT in comparison to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in inter...
