New hope for early liver cancer: radioembolization under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07278102
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well a treatment called 90Y radioembolization works for people with early-stage liver cancer. Researchers will track 200 patients in Korea to see how the tumors respond, how long patients live, and any side effects. The goal is to gather real-world data to improve treatment guidelines and expand access to this therapy.
