Sponsor's own description
350 new cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are diagnosed in Denmark each year, but the overall prognosis is poor with a 1-year survival rate of less than 40% and a 5-year survival rate of 10% for the entire patient group. This national phase II non-randomized single-arm study of proton therapy in HCC is conducted with the aim to offer a safe and efficient radiation treatment to fragile patients with reduced dose to the normal liver compared to conventional photon-based radiotherapy.
