We report here the long-term results of marker-less respiratory-gated proton therapy (PT), without fiducial markers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which was planned using a four-dimensional computed tomography technique. Local tumor control (LTC) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Toxicity was graded per CTCAE v5.0. Patients (n = 105; median age 73 years, range 38–90 years) with 128 lesions were treated. The median radiation dose was 66 gray relative biological effectiveness (GyRBE) (range, 52.8–82.5 GyRBE) delivered in 2.0 to 6.6 GyRBE fractions, depending on lesion volume, the involved liver, and the patient’s condition. The median follow-up of surviving patients was 63 months (range, 1–126 months), and the 5-year LTC and OS rates were 93.2% and 40.4%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified tumors near the gastrointestinal tract as an independent risk factor for local recurrence and revealed that hepatic reserve, tumor stage, performance status, operability, sex, and portal vein thrombosis were independent risk factors for OS. Acute and late treatment-related grade 3 toxicities were experienced by eight patients (7.6%). Adverse events ≥ grade 4 were not evident. Marker-less respiratory-gated PT for HCC is a safe and effective treatment without severe complications. |
