Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating patients with liver metastases or liver cancer. SBRT is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Combining MRI with SBRT may help doctors to highlight the tissues surrounding the tumor better.

Arms (1)
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Treatment (MRI-guided Tri-60Co teletherapy SBRT)
- description
- Patients undergo MRI-guided Tri-60Co teletherapy SBRT 3-5 fractions over 1-2 weeks.
- interventionNames
- Radiation: Image-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy
- Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
Primary outcomes (5)
- measure
- Plan quality of the MRI guided radiotherapy vs. conventional linac radiotherapy.
- timeFrame
- Up to 2 years
- description
- Comparing the plan quality of the MRI guided radiotherapy to conventional determined by the ability to create treatment plans that are comparable to those generated by a conventional linear accelerator, and by the treating radiation oncologist's ability to accurately visualize and align to the target lesion
- measure
- Feasibility of SBRT delivery by the MRI-guided tri-60Co teletherapy system, calculated by recording the number of patients for whom plans were or were not comparable between the two modalities

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients may have either metastatic lesions from another primary site or primary hepatocellular carcinoma; patients with one histologically confirmed metastatic lesion of the liver who are presenting for local therapy for lesions concerning for metastases that cannot or should not be biopsied will also be considered for enrollment on a case by case basis; patients can simultaneously receive treatment for multiple hepatic lesions meeting the prior two requirements, at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist * Karnofsky performance status (KPS) \>= 70 * No active infections requiring systemic antibiotics * If a woman is of childbearing potential, a negative urine or serum pregnancy test must be documented; women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; or abstinence) for duration of study participation and for up to 4 weeks following the study * Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women, or women of childbearing potential who are sexually active and not willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception for the entire study period and for up to 4 weeks after the study * Refusal to sign the informed consent * Patients who are participating in a concurrent treatment protocol * Patients for whom a plan meeting institutional quality criteria cannot be designed for SBRT treatment via the MRI-guided teletherapy unit, but for whom an SBRT plan meeting institutional quality criteria can be designed for a conventional linear accelerator
