Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Interventional Radiology Liver Directed Therapies (ILDT)

ILDT includes ablations such as microwave ablation and percutaneous local ablation and embolotherapies including bland embolization, chemoembolization and radioembolization.

Intervention Type OTHER

European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (QLQ-C30) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Hepatobiliary (FACT-Hep)

Hypofractionated Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (HIGRT)

HIGRT is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure typically delivered in 3-10 fractions of radiation.
