About this trial

At four major centers in Korea, patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that exceed the up-to-7 criteria yet remain locally confined will undergo ablative radioembolization using Yttrium-90 glass microspheres, guided by a standardized dosimetry method. Their treatment response, survival outcomes, and adverse events will be monitored for two years following the procedure.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Adult aged 19 and over

HCC diagnosed by histology or non-invasive criteria of the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease

Unresectable HCC beyond the UT7 criteria: the sum of the diameter of the largest tumor (cm) and the number of tumors > 7

Localized HCC: all tumors are in the one to five geographically adjacent Couinaud segments

Disqualifiers

HCC with vascular invasion and/or bile duct invasion on dynamic computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

HCC with extrahepatic spread on chest CT and abdominal CT or MRI

Multinodular disseminated HCC: largest tumor size < 6 cm, or number of tumors > 10

Cases where the estimated lung dose exceeds 30 Gy when 350 Gy of tumor absorbed dose is administered to the tumor based on the multicompartment Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) model
