We investigated the clinical efficacy of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in patients with oligometastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The inclusion criteria were patients receiving definitive treatment for HCC with 1–5 metastatic lesions, p < 0.001). Nine patients experienced grade 1 radiation pneumonitis. Given its efficacy and safety, SABR deserves active consideration in the treatment of oligometastatic HCC.
