Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. between the ages of 18 and 75 years, and of either sex 2. recurrent small hepatocellular carcinoma based on a history of partial hepatectomy for primary hepatocellular carcinoma and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases diagnostic criteria for HCC; and 3. R0 resection of the primary tumor without visible vascular invasion and extrahepatic distant metastases; and 4. no residual disease detected within the first 2 months after initial hepatectomy; and 5. RHCC with a single diameter of =3cm and the number of nodules =3; 6. The RHCC is located at least 1.0 cm from the adjacent gastrointestinal tract, hepatic hilum, vena cava or main hepatic vein, gallbladder, and the base of the diaphragm, and is technically amenable to treatment by SBRT or percutaneous ablation. 7. The physical status score of tumor patients follows the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group ECOGPS score of 0 to 1 (0 for normal activity; 1 for mild symptoms, comfortable with life, and able to engage in light physical activity); 8. liver function grade Child-Pugh grade A or B; and 9. prothrombin time (PT) less than 4 seconds from normal control; 10. absence of hepatic encephalopathy or/and ascites of more than moderate volume. 11. Renal function and cardiopulmonary function are essentially normal. 12. Gastroscopy of esophageal veins without severe varices, no active peptic ulcers 13. Hemoglobin =90g/L, white blood cell count =3.0×109/L, neutrophil count =1.5×109/L, platelet count =40×109/L. 14. No clear manifestation of malignant disease; 15. expected life expectancy greater than three months, no pregnancy, and no HIV or syphilis infection; 16. those who can understand the circumstances of this study and have signed the informed consent form.
