Radiation and liver surgery for large liver tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests combining radiation therapy (radioembolization) with surgery to remove part of the liver for people with a single large liver tumor (over 8 cm) that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach can treat the tumor effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had any prior treatment for liver cancer.
- Your liver function is fairly good (Child-Pugh class A).

This trial tests a treatment called yttrium-90 radioembolization (tiny radioactive beads delivered to the liver) for people with liver cancer that has already been treated before. The goal is to see if it can help control the tumor when other treatments haven't been enough.
This trial tests a targeted radiation treatment (radioembolization) for liver cancer that has grown into the main vein (portal vein) but is still limited to one lobe of the liver. It is for people who have not received any prior cancer treatment and whose liver function is still fairly good.
This trial tests a treatment that delivers tiny radioactive beads directly to liver tumors through a tube. It is for people with one or a few small liver tumors that cannot be removed with surgery or destroyed with heat or cold. The goal is to shrink or control the tumors with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a treatment called radioembolization for small liver cancers. Radioembolization delivers tiny radioactive beads to the tumor, and the goal is to see if it helps shrink or control the cancer.
This trial tests giving a same-day radiation treatment (radioembolization) for large liver cancers (5 cm or bigger). It might be an option if your liver is still working well and you are in good general health.
This trial tests a targeted internal radiation treatment for people with liver cancer (HCC) that is too widespread for surgery and goes beyond the up-to-7 criteria. It aims to see if this therapy can safely and effectively treat tumors that are all located in a specific area of the liver.
