New combo therapy aims to hold liver cancer at bay for transplant patients

NCT ID NCT01918683

Summary

This study is testing whether combining two procedures helps control liver cancer in patients waiting for a liver transplant. It compares a standard procedure (TACE) to that same procedure plus targeted radiation (SBRT). The goal is to see if the combination is more effective at keeping the cancer from growing while patients are on the transplant waiting list.
