Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is very challenging with poor outcome. In this situation, radiotherapy has become an alternative treatment modality, more precisely due to advances in radiation techniques. The goal of our study is to do analysis of these patients treated with rapid arc image-guided technology (RA-IGRT) at our institution.
