What is it about?

This article shows that using a high-tech radiotherapy technique called "stereotactic ablative radiotherapy", it is possible to treat a liver cancer patient twice with safety when the tumour comes back after the initial radiotherapy.

Why is it important?

This article shows, likely for the first time, that the new radiotherapy technique "stereotactic ablative radiotherapy" can be used for a patient who has been successfully irradiated previously but has a recurrent tumour later on.

Perspectives

I think this is a very important study which deserves more attention.
