What is Liver SBRT?
What is Liver SBRT?
What is Liver SBRT?
Liver SBRT is a highly precise, non-invasive radiation therapy that targets liver tumours accurately while minimising exposure to healthy liver tissue. It is an effective option for selected patients, including those who are not suitable for surgery.
Benefits of Liver SBRT
Liver SBRT delivers high doses of radiation with precision, allowing effective tumour control without surgery. It reduces damage to healthy liver tissue and nearby organs, and is especially valuable for patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery.

Conditions Treated
Liver SBRT may be used to treat selected liver conditions, including primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), liver metastases from other cancers, and bile duct cancers (cholangiocarcinoma), depending on tumour characteristics and liver function.

Liver SBRT Program by AARO
The Liver SBRT programme at AARO was initiated by our doctors during their time at the National Cancer Centre and has since been expanded to benefit patients in the private sector. The programme is built on established protocols developed in collaboration with leading international cancer institutions, supported by continuous education and training. Through this programme, patients with conditions such as primary liver cancer (HCC), liver metastases, and selected cases of cholangiocarcinoma have benefited from precise, multidisciplinary liver SBRT care.

We offer a range of non-surgical, liver-directed therapies tailored to the stage and characteristics of each tumour. All treatments are planned and delivered by a multidisciplinary team to maximise tumour control while preserving healthy liver function.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to destroy abnormal tissues, such as tumors or certain cardiac arrhythmias. It involves inserting a needle-like probe into the target tissue, which then emits high-frequency electrical currents. These currents generate heat, causing thermal damage and leading to cell death in the affected area. RFA is commonly used in the treatment of liver, kidney, lung, and bone tumors, as well as certain types of arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation.

Microwave Ablation (MVA)
Microwave ablation (MVA) is another minimally invasive technique used to treat tumors by generating heat to destroy cancer cells. Unlike RFA, MVA uses electromagnetic waves in the microwave spectrum to heat and ablate the tissue. This method is typically faster and can treat larger tumors than RFA. MVA is frequently used for liver, lung, kidney, and bone cancers. The procedure involves inserting a microwave antenna into the tumor under imaging guidance, allowing precise delivery of treatment.

Liver SBRT, or Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, is a highly precise form of radiation therapy used to treat liver tumors. It involves delivering high doses of radiation to the tumor site while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.

Proton Beam Therapy (PBT)
Proton beam therapy (PBT) is an advanced form of radiation therapy that uses protons instead of traditional X-rays to treat cancer. Protons have the unique physical property of depositing most of their energy at a specific depth, known as the Bragg peak, allowing for more precise targeting of tumors with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This makes PBT particularly beneficial for treating tumors located near critical structures, such as brain tumors, pediatric cancers, and certain types of head and neck cancers.

Trans-Arterial Chemo-Embolization (TACE)
Trans-arterial chemo-embolization (TACE) is a targeted treatment for liver cancer that combines chemotherapy with embolization. The procedure involves delivering chemotherapy drugs directly to the tumor through the hepatic artery, followed by the injection of embolic agents that block the blood supply to the tumor. This dual action helps to enhance the efficacy of the chemotherapy and limit systemic side effects. TACE is mainly used for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and can be repeated multiple times if necessary.

Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT)
Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), also known as radioembolization, is a treatment for liver cancer that involves injecting tiny radioactive beads (microspheres) into the hepatic artery. These beads lodge in the tumor's blood vessels and deliver high doses of radiation directly to the cancer cells while sparing most of the surrounding healthy liver tissue. SIRT is often used for inoperable liver tumors, including primary liver cancer and metastatic cancer to the liver, such as colorectal cancer.
