Summary

This study is for people with liver cancer whose liver is too small for surgery. Doctors use a special radiation treatment (Y90) to help the healthy part of the liver grow larger. Once it's big enough, patients can have surgery to remove the cancer. The study compares standard care with an optimized dose to find the best approach.
