New radiation approach targets liver tumors without surgery
NCT ID NCT03408665
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a precise type of radiation called SBRT for people with liver cancer or tumors that have spread to the liver. It includes 280 participants with various liver tumor types. The goal is to see how well SBRT controls tumor growth and what side effects occur.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a non-invasive treatment option to control liver tumors and delay progression.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase II study, so results are preliminary. The treatment may not improve survival or could cause side effects like liver damage.
