VXX – volume (%) of liver receiving XX Gy or greater. rVXXcc – volume (cc) of liver spared by XX Gy.

a

Patient 1 had a diagnosis of IHC with Child-Pugh class A (score 5) cirrhosis arising from primary sclerosing cholangitis.

b

Patient 2 had a diagnosis of HCC (treated with prior TACE) with Child-Pugh class B (score of 7 secondary to hypoalbuminemia and medication-controlled ascites) cirrhosis in the setting of Hepatitis C.
