Defining the Ablative Dose for Y-90 TARE (NCT07586046)
A Prospective Dose-Escalation Study to Define an Ablative Dose of Yttrium-90 Transarterial Radioembolization Using Advanced Dosimetry and Functional MRI (MARGIN Study)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study is being done to help doctors improve how they treat liver tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or treated with standard ablation techniques. The researchers want to find out the best amount of radiation that needs to be delivered to completely destroy (or ablate) parts of the liver that have cancer.
