Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The rate of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) involving portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is up to 50% in Guangxi province, China. Some of them will receive hepatic resection, especially those with type I or II PVTT. However, 5-years recurrence rate is up to 75% after surgery. Some retrospective studies found postoperative radiotherapy may reduce the rate of recurrence. Moreover, few retrospective studies also found neoadjuvant radiotherapy (PMID: 27317960) may improve overall survival for HCC patients involving type II/III PVTT. However, the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant raidotherapy for HCC involving type I PVTT is unknown.
