Proton beam zaps liver tumors without surgery in new trial

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Pathologically confirmed non-lymphoma liver metastases or New radiographic liver lesions consistent with metastases in patients with known pathologically confirmed non-lymphoma cancer 1-3 liver lesions measurable on CT/MRI or PET/CT performed within 6 weeks prior to study entry Liver metastases measuring \<5cm Life expectancy \>6 months Disease outside the liver is allowed Age ≥ 18 ECOG Performance Scale = 0-1 Adequate bone marrow function, defined as follows: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000 cells/mm3 based upon CBC/differential obtained within 4 weeks prior to registration on study * Platelets ≥ 60,000 cell/mm3 based upon CBC/differential obtained within 4 weeks prior to registration on study * Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dl based upon CBC/differential obtained within 4 weeks prior to registration on study (Note: the use of transfusion or other intervention to achieve Hgb ≥ 8.0 is acceptable.)
