A 71 year-old woman developed acute veno-occlusive disease of the liver after receiving moving strip radiotherapy to the whole abdomen according to the Toronto technique for carcinoma of the ovary. The dose of 22.5 Gy in 10 fractions to the liver is compared with other regimens which have produced this complication, and factors which may have sensitized the liver to irradiation are considered.
