Brief Summary

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

RAISE is a multicenter randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy for controlling postsurgical recurrence in HCC patients with narrow margin (≤ 1 cm) after curative resection.

Detailed Description

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

RAISE trial will recruit 148 patients, and they will be randomized (1:1) to two groups (the surgery group and the surgery-radiotherapy group). Random assignment was stratified by the condition of MVI and tumor size. All patients in the surgery-radiotherapy group received Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) within 1-3 months after surgical resection. The prescription dose was planned at 50 gray in 25 fractions over 5-6 weeks. The trial is to verify whether adjuvant radiotherapy prolongs recurrence-free survival in patients with a narrow resection margin.
