Brief summary
The aim of our research is to evaluate the curative effect and safety of CyberKnife stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
Interventions
A total dose of 45-54 Gy in 5-10 fractions was given according to the location of lesions for small HCC patients with decompensated cirrhosis.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival time | From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months | OS is calculated starting from the date of SBRT to the date of the final follow-up or demise of the patients. |
| Progression-free survival time | From date of randomization until the date of disease progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months | PFS is estimated starting from the date of SBRT to the date of disease progression or patient death. |
| Local control time | From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months | LC is defined starting from the date of SBRT to the date of treated-lesion progression or patient death. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Radiation-induced liver injury rates | From the date of radiotherapy completion until the 4 months after therapy,up to 6 months. |
| Adverse reaction | From the date of radiotherapy completion until the 4 months after therapy,up to 6 months. |
