Radiofrequency ablation has been used to treat many types of tumors, including hepatocellular cancers. During RFA a needle is inserted into the tumor tissue and heat is used to kill the tumor cells. Sorafenib has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of hepatocellular cancer that cannot be treated with surgery. Pre-clinical data suggests that sorafenib may improve the efficacy of RFA.', 'detailedDescription': 'Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) has a poor prognosis with increasing mortality in the United States. Because HCC generally develops in patients with underlying liver disease, resection is often not possible. Liver transplant improves survival for HCC patients but given the national organ donor shortage often patients have to wait a considerable time for transplant. Liver-directed therapies such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) remain important tools to control tumor growth and to potentially "bridge" patients to liver transplant. However, liver-directed therapies for HCC tumors greater than 3cm in size are suboptimal, leaving a critical unmet need.\n\nAntiangiogenic systemic agents, such as oral sorafenib, reduce tumor blood flow and have been shown to improve RFA efficacy in animal and in computer models.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Confirmed hepatocellular cancer (HCC) by pathology or by NCCN imaging guidelines\n* All HCC stages are allowed.
