Brief Summary: This trial studies how well yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres work in treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Radioactive drugs, such as yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres, may carry radiation directly to cancer cells and not harm normal cells.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Provide oversight to treatment with yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere) to eligible patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of the liver who are not surgical resection candidates.
II. Evaluate patient experience, toxicities and overall survival associated with TheraSphere treatment.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres via a catheter over 5 minutes on day 0. Patients may receive additional treatments at 4-12 week intervals until all tumors in the liver have been treated in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3-6 weeks, then annually for up to 2 years.
