Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Gathering information about quality of life over time from patients with liver cancer treated with image-guided therapy may help the study of cancer in the future.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is gathering information about quality of life over time from patients with liver cancer treated with image-guided therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Develop a data repository for clinical and health-related quality of life outcome measures in patients with hepatic malignancies treated with image-guided therapies.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot, prospective, longitudinal study.

Patients complete a standard questionnaire assessing health-related quality of life at baseline, during routine follow-up care after image-guided therapy, and then annually thereafter. Health and disease status and the development of other illnesses are assessed by medical record review.
