Common steroid may shield liver during cancer radiation

NCT ID NCT05901519

Summary

This study is testing if a common steroid called prednisone can protect the liver from damage during radiation treatment for liver cancer. Twenty patients at high risk for liver inflammation will take prednisone for a few days before and during their radiation therapy. Researchers will measure blood markers of inflammation and liver function to see if the steroid reduces harmful side effects.
