dc.description.abstractBackground and Aim This study aimed to investigate the clinical benefits of locoregional radiation therapy (RT) before, after, and concurrent with sorafenib therapy for Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods Patients treated with sorafenib for BCLC stage C HCC between January 2015 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. In this study, only RT to locoregional sites, including the primary HCC, tumor thrombosis, or lymph node metastasis, was analyzed. Propensity score matching was used to adjust important baseline characteristics between groups. Results Among 398 patients treated with sorafenib, 68 (17.1%) patients were treated with locoregional RT. Median progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) were 2.2 and 9.5 months, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, locoregional RT (P < 0.001) was associated with a favorable OS. After 1:1 propensity score matching, patients who did not receive locoregional RT showed a worse OS than those who received RT (median 9.6 vs 15.7 months, P = 0.017). Whereas locoregional RT before/concurrent with sorafenib did not result in prolonged OS, locoregional RT after sorafenib showed significantly prolonged OS compared with sorafenib without locoregional RT (P = 0.003). Moreover, patients treated with >= 12 weeks of sorafenib significantly benefited from locoregional RT (15.3 vs 23.6 months, P = 0.046). Conclusion Locoregional RT was associated with significantly longer survival in BCLC stage C HCC patients who were treated with sorafenib. Therefore, incorporating locoregional RT could improve the dismal prognosis for these patients.-
