NCT ID NCT03186898
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study compares two radiation therapies for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has come back. One uses standard X-rays (photons), the other uses proton beams that stop after the tumor, possibly causing less harm to healthy tissue. The goal is to see which treatment helps patients live longer and with fewer side effects.
