Summary
At this time, patients who have a cancer in the liver and who already have liver damage from
cirrhosis, chemotherapy, or surgery may not be able to receive radiation therapy to the
liver. Radiation to the liver in these patients may cause excessive liver damage. New
methods of giving radiation to the liver may help these patients receive radiation therapy
to help control cancer.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if the new method of giving
radiation to the liver can be given safely to patients who already have liver problems.
