Y-90 radioembolization for large liver cancer (over 7 cm)
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called Y-90 radioembolization (SIRT) for people with liver cancer that is too large to be removed surgically. The treatment delivers tiny radioactive beads directly to the tumor through the liver's blood supply, which may shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be surgically removed.
- The largest tumor in your liver is bigger than 7 cm.
- Your liver function is good enough (Child-Pugh score of 7 or less).
- Your general health is good (ECOG score 0 or 1).
- You have adequate blood counts and organ function (kidneys, liver).
- You have not had a heart or kidney transplant, do not have HIV, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 study compares two liver-directed treatments—radioactive Yttrium-90 beads (SIRT) and a type of chemo infusion directly into the liver (HAIC)—for people whose liver cancer is advanced enough to need treatment but might still be removable with surgery. The goal is to see which approach can shrink the tumor best before surgery.
This trial tests a targeted radiation treatment (SIRT) for people with liver cancer that is still confined to one side of the liver and has not been treated before. The goal is to see if SIRT can shrink the tumor enough to make surgical removal possible.
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.
This study tests a targeted radiation treatment called Y90 for liver tumors that are too large for standard approaches. It aims to see how well the treatment works for people with primary or secondary liver cancers that mainly affect the liver and have at least one tumor bigger than 5 cm.
