High-dose radiation beams target liver tumors with precision
NCT ID NCT01165346
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a high-precision radiation treatment called stereotaxic radiotherapy (CyberKnife) in 44 adults with a single liver cancer tumor. The goal was to stop the tumor from growing for at least 18 months. Participants received three high-dose radiation sessions over 8-10 days. The approach is for patients who cannot have standard treatments.
