Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma with liver-dominant disease. Diagnosis may be made by histo- or cyto-pathology, or by clinical and imaging criteria.
• The cancer is unresectable.
• All patients must be off all chemotherapeutic regimens for 30 days prior to and 30 days after TheraSphere treatment.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2.
• Age 18 years or older.
• Able to understand informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

• Evidence of potential delivery of greater than 16.5 mCi (30 Gy absorbed dose) of radiation to the lungs on either:

• single TheraSphere administration; or
• cumulative delivery of radiation to the lungs greater than 50 Gy over multiple treatments.
• Evidence of any detectable Tc-99m macroaggregated albumin flow to the stomach or duodenum, after application of established angiographic techniques to stop such flow.
• Previous radiation therapy to the lungs and/or to the upper abdomen
• Pregnancy
• Symptomatic lung disease.
• Significant extrahepatic disease representing an imminent life-threatening outcome.
• Active uncontrolled infection
• Any pre-treatment laboratory findings within 30 days of treatment demonstrating:

• Aspartate or alanine aminotransferase level greater than 5 times upper normal limit.
• Serum bilirubin greater than 2 mg/dl
• Infiltrative tumor on imaging
• Tumor volume greater than 70% of liver volume
• Tumor volume greater than 50% of liver volume and serum albumin level less than 3 mg/dL
