What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
This study is being done to help doctors improve how they treat liver tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or treated with standard ablation techniques. The researchers want to find out the best amount of radiation that needs to be delivered to completely destroy (or ablate) parts of the liver that have cancer.
