Summary

This study is for people with liver cancer who need surgery but don't have enough healthy liver left. Doctors use a special radiation treatment (Y90) to help the liver grow larger. Once the liver is big enough, patients can have surgery to remove the cancer. The study compares standard care with an optimized dose to find the best approach.
