The local control rates by tumor size following C-ion RT (45 GyE/2 fr) for hepatocellular
carcinoma
The one- and three-year local control rates were 97% and 81% in the smaller tumor group (≤
5 cm) and 100% and 80% in the larger tumor group (>5 cm), respectively. Local control was
not dependent on the tumor size (P=0.892)
