Brief Title: Sorafenib vs.TransArterial Chemoembolization Plus RadioTherapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Macrovascular Invasion
Official Title: Randomized Trial Comparing Sorafenib and Transarterial Chemoembolization Plus External Beam Radiotherapy in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Showing Macroscopic Vascular Invasion
Study ID: NCT01901692
Brief Summary: To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of sorafenib versus trans-arterial chemoembolization plus external beam radiation therapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma invading major intrahepatic vessels
Detailed Description: Current practice guidelines recommend only sorafenib for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma invading major intrahepatic vessels. However, recent data from observational studies suggest that the combination of transarterial chemoembolization and external beam radiotherapy would be as effective as sorafenib.
