Overview

Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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
