Radiation segmentectomy for liver tumors using resin microspheres
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a precise radiation treatment for liver tumors. It uses tiny radioactive beads called resin microspheres to target cancer in a specific liver segment, which may help patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) or tumors that have spread to the liver from elsewhere.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You have one or two liver tumors that are in the same or nearby liver segments
- Your largest tumor is smaller than 8 cm
- Your liver function score (Child-Pugh) is less than B9
- You do not have cancer blocking major blood vessels in the liver

This trial tests a treatment that delivers tiny radioactive beads directly to liver tumors to shrink them, which may help patients become eligible for a liver transplant or surgery. It is for people with liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver.
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 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 trial tests a treatment using tiny radioactive beads (TheraSphere) to target and destroy liver tumors in people with early-stage liver cancer. It aims to confirm the safety and effectiveness of a new way to plan the treatment.
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 is testing a low 'scout' dose of tiny radioactive beads (resin microspheres) given into the liver to treat liver cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps patients with certain types of liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
