Brief Summary: RATIONALE Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Demonstrate the antitumor activity of continuous sunitinib malate treatment in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma

Secondary

Evaluate the safety of sunitinib malate treatment
Measure serum cobalamin ie vitamin B12 level during sunitinib malate treatment in order to investigate the relationship between sunitinib malate treatment and cobalamin deficiency
Control the cobalamin deficiency by cobalamin replacement
Investigate whether changes in tumor density could be used as a criterion for tumor response in future trials

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients undergo blood sample collection on day 1 of each course to assess serum cobalamin levels and correlation with sunitinib malate treatment Patients are also assessed for changes in tumor density and correlation with response Baseline CT scans are compared with scans performed at 6 and 12 weeks to evaluate changes in CT-scan density due to tumor necrosis and response

After completion of study therapy patients are followed at least every 3 months for up to 3 years
