Expediting care for hepatocellular carcinoma ≤ 3 cm by streamlining radiation segmentectomy: A quality improvement project.

Radiation segmentectomy (RS) for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is routinely performed in two sessions. A process improvement analysis at a single destination medical center demonstrated a prolonged RS time to treatment in early-stage HCC. In response, a multidisciplinary quality improvement project to optimize RS treatment expediency was initiated.
