Feasibility Study of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma, and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
This study is being done to determine if targeted radiation therapy (stereotactic) can be
given to treat liver cancer, for patient who are unable to undergo surgery, over a short
period of time with a small amount of side effects.
