Inclusion Criteria:

  1. histologically confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or clinical diagnosis of HCC according to American association for the study of liver diseases (AASLD)-guidelines or clinical diagnosis criteria based on Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP), and radiological images proposed by Liver Cancer Society, Chinese Anti-Cancer Association;
  2. no clinically distant metastasis;
  3. the tumor is away from gastro-intestinal (GI) tract (>1cm);
  4. Child Push score A,technically unresectable, or medically inoperable; maximal tumor size is less than 10 cm;
  5. age ≥ 18 and <80 years of age;
  6. Karnofsky Performance Score ≥ 70;
  7. No previous invasive cancer (within 5 years before the HCC diagnosis)except for skin non-melanoma cancer or non muscle invasive bladder cancer; Ability to understand character and individual consequences of the clinical trial;
  8. Willing to sign the written informed consent; Informed consent must be signed before the enrollment in the trial;

Exclusion Criteria:

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of this research project is to assess the efficacy and toxicity of hypofractionated carbon-ion radiotherapy with concurrent granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma
Detailed Description
Golden E.B. et al.in 2015 reported that localized radiotherapy granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) produced objective abscopal responses in solid tumor with metastasises. We hypothesize that hypofractionated carbon-ion radiotherapy combining granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) might improve the clinical response rate and progression-free survival (PFS) in hepatocellular carcinoma. The primary endpoint of the current phase II trial is progression-free survival rate at 2 years, secondary endpoints are overall survival, safety and toxicity.
