      abstract = {The management of liver tumors is a nexus of interactions  among multiple medical specialties, including radiation  oncology. A multitude of liver-directed therapies are  available for patients, ranging from surgery and liver  transplantation to intra-arterial therapies, thermal  ablation procedures, systemic therapies, and radiation  treatments. With the introduction of hypofractionated  irradiation, particle therapy, and radioembolization, there  is growing interest in the use of radiation as a treatment  for liver malignancies. This book examines basic principles  of the management of liver tumors. The evolving roles of  x-ray and particle therapies as well as radioembolization  in the treatment of liver tumors is the main focus. A theme  of multidisciplinary management is also emphasized, as  surgical, interventional and systemic therapies are  reviewed. A unique resource that discusses the role of  radiation treatment in the context of other liver-directed  therapies, Radiation Therapy for Liver Tumors is of broad  interest to radiation oncologists, surgeons, hepatologists,  medical oncologists, and radiologists.},
