NCT ID NCT04736121

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a treatment called selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Tiny radioactive beads are injected into the liver to deliver radiation directly to tumors. The goal is to shrink the cancer and control the disease. About 100 adults with early to intermediate stage liver cancer will take part.
