NCT ID NCT05053555

First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests a type of internal radiation called high-dose-rate brachytherapy for people with liver tumors that cannot be surgically removed. The treatment uses a tiny radioactive source placed directly into the tumor to kill cancer cells while sparing nearby healthy tissue. The goal is to see if this approach can effectively control tumors that are too large or too close to sensitive structures for standard heat-based treatments.
