Summary
This study tested a new way to make radiation therapy work better for people with liver cancer. Doctors used special ultrasound contrast agents (tiny gas-filled microbubbles) and then 'popped' them with ultrasound waves to make tumors more sensitive to the radiation. The goal was to improve tumor shrinkage compared to radiation alone. The study involved 104 participants and was completed.
