|
Liver Cancer |
| Purpose: |
|
Surgical resection of the affected liver offers the best chance for disease-free survival in
patients with Hepatoma (HCC). Unfortunately, most hepatoma patients present with disease
which is multi-focal and thus not resectable. Fewer than 15% of HCC patients are resectable.
The objective of treatment with TheraSphere is to selectively administer a dose of
radioactive material directly to neoplastic tissue in the liver. Systemic therapy is largely
ineffective.

| Study summary: |
|
Protocol Objectives include:
- Determine the proportion of patients with HCC in whom the treatment plan can be
completed
- Evaluate the response to therapy
- Evaluate toxicities and adverse experiences associated with TheraSphere treatment
- Evaluate survival time |
| Criteria: |
|
Inclusion Criteria:
- Over 18 years of age of any sex, race
