All patients received SBRT treatment at a dose of 45Gy/3f. The liver function was compared before and after SBRT treatment by the analysis of adverse hepatic reactions and changes in CTP classification.Results: After SBRT treatment, eight patients presented with decreases in CTP classification and 13 patients presented with ≥grade 2 hepatic adverse reactions. For patients presenting with ≥grade 2 hepatic adverse reactions, the total liver volume of ≤1,162mL and a normal liver volume (total liver volume – gross tumor volume [GTV]) of ≤1,148mL were found to be independent risk factors and statistically significant (P1,162mL and a normal liver volume >1,148mL should be ensured to improve therapeutic safety.
