Precision radiation zaps liver tumors in patients out of options

NCT ID NCT01165346

Summary

This study tested a focused, high-dose radiation treatment for people with a single liver tumor who could not receive standard surgery or other therapies. 44 patients received three radiation sessions over 8-10 days using a precise machine called CyberKnife. The main goal was to see if this approach could stop the tumor from growing for 18 months after treatment.
