Abstract: Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of three-dimensional conformal radiation (3DCRT) on treating unresectable primary liver cancer (PLC).Methods From April 1999 to July 2007,a total of 153 patients with PLC who could not receive surgical therapy and were treated with 3DCRT alone were reviewed.Results The overall efficiency was 37.3%.The l-,2- and 3-year survival rates were 38.0%,25.0% and 20.0%,respectively.Conclusion 3DCRT is effective and feasible for treating unresectable PLC.
