Adding SBRT to sorafenib improves survival in hepatocellular carcinoma patients

Recent results from the Phase III NRG-RTOG 1112 clinical study showed that the addition of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to systemic therapy with sorafenib significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and time-to-progression in patients with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) when compared to sorafenib alone.
