New radiation technique may help more liver cancer patients get transplants
NCT ID NCT06218420
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a high-precision radiation treatment called SBRT for people with liver cancer who are waiting for a liver transplant but cannot have standard bridging treatments like radiofrequency ablation or chemoembolization. The goal is to see if SBRT can keep the cancer under control so patients can stay on the transplant list and receive a transplant. About 139 adults will take part across multiple hospitals in France.
