Study Summary

This trial will study the safety and effectiveness of combining two cancer treatments: Y-90 SIRT and SBRT.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that meets specific imaging criteria, has a life expectancy of at least 6 months, and agrees to use contraception. It excludes those who can't stay still for scans, are pregnant or refuse birth control, have certain allergies or contraindications to MRI contrast agents or Theraspheres, high bilirubin levels, main portal vein occlusion, excessive lung shunting from the liver.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests combining Y-90 Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in treating liver cancer. This approach is being evaluated for safety and side effects; it's also the first time Y-90 PET/CT imaging will be used in planning SBRT.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include radiation-related symptoms such as fatigue, skin reactions at treatment sites, abdominal pain or discomfort due to inflammation of liver tissue. There might also be risks associated with internal radiation therapy like nausea and potential damage to nearby organs.
