Brief Title: Randomized Trial Comparing Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy to Microwave Ablation for the Treatment of Localized Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Official Title: A Phase II Randomized Trial Comparing Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy to Microwave Ablation for the Treatment of Localized Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT03168152
Brief Summary: This is a randomized phase II study comparing microwave ablation (MWA) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for localized hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This trial will be the first prospective comparison of these modalities for the treatment of HCC and will provide critical information regarding which local ablative modality is most appropriate for which patients. This study will also provide important information regarding quality of life and liver function changes following these two different treatment modalities.
