Y-90 Versus SBRT for Inoperable HCC

This phase II trial tests whether Y-90 segmentectomy (internal radiation) versus stereotactic body radiation therapy (external radiation) is more optimal in treating inoperable liver cancer. Y-90 segmentectomy consists into very tiny radioactive glass beads that can be injected into the liver through the blood vessels supplying the liver. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver external radiation to tumors with high precision. This study many help doctors determine which treatment, Y-90 segmentectomy or SBRT, works better in treating liver cancer.
