Brief Summary

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

This is a single center, prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) as bridging treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients on transplant waitlist.

Detailed Description

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

The study population includes patients 18 years of age or older with HCC, who are accepted on waiting list for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT).

Patient will be assessed in a multidisciplinary committee and they will receive SBRT unless otherwise contraindicated. Patients will undergo SBRT under standard protocol.

Patients with HCC beyond University of California, San Francisco criteria (UCSF) will be removed from waitlist.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Radiological diagnosis of HCC confirmed according to AASLD criteria
2. All patients who are accepted on deceased donor waiting list
3. HCC within UCSF criteria (defined as solitary tumor \<=6.5cm OR up to 3 tumors \<=4.5cm, total sum \<=8cm)

Exclusion Criteria

1. age \<18 year old;
2. Child's C cirrhosis;
3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score \>2;
4. presence of extrahepatic metastasis;
5. radiological tumor invasion to portal, hepatic vein or its branches;
6. absolute contraindications to RT (e.g. previous RT to liver);
7. positive pregnancy test;
8. unwilling or unable to adhere to study requirements and procedure;
9. any other condition, in the investigator's judgment, that increases the risk of SBRT or prevents safe trial participation.
