Aim: To report final results of a prospective study of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with previously untreated solitary primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: This prospective, single-arm, multicenter phase II trial recruited patients with HCC who were unsuitable for, or refused, surgery and radiofrequency ablation, with 3-year overall survival (OS) rates as the primary endpoint and survival outcomes and adverse events as secondary endpoints. The prescribed SBRT dose was 40 Gy in five fractions.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) versus stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in treating recurrent small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: In this trial, patients with recurrent small HCC (single lesion ≤5 cm) were randomly assigned to receive either SBRT or RFA. The primary end point was local progression-free survival (LPFS), and secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), local control rate, and safety.

Objective: Since the recent development of stereotactic ablation surgery, which can provide good seizure outcomes without limitations in size or location, conventional classification systems have become unsuitable for surgical guidance. The present study aimed to evaluate the validity of a newly proposed classification system focusing on the attachment pattern.
Methods: This retrospective study investigated 218 patients with hypothalamic hamartomas who underwent MRI-guided stereotactic radiofrequency thermocoagulation and were followed for at least 1 year after their last surgery.

Image-guided thermal ablation (IGTA) applied to pulmonary pathology is an alternative to surgery in high-risk patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Its application to lung neoplasm was first introduced in 2001 and has been implemented to treat metastatic disease to the lung or in select medically inoperable patients with peripheral stage I NSCLC. IGTA may also be an alternative to treat stage I NSCLC in non-operable patients with interstitial lung disease in whom a radiation modality is deemed too high risk.

Background And Objectives: There is a paucity of data directly comparing the outcome of surgical techniques available for the treatment of hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs). This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of commonly used surgical approaches in the treatment of HH-related epilepsy.
Methods: A systematic review and individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis was conducted.
